Update on Yeshiva University’s Mechinah Program

by DK

If you or someone you know is in the mechinah program, please ask them if they will be willing to contact me for a story. I don’t know where it will be published yet, but it is my intention to do a story on YU’s grading of morning prayer services — for BTs, and only for BTs.

this is more of a question then a comment…is it true what ive heard that the people in this program get a scholarship?

Simmy,

I have no idea if there is greater scholarships for the Mechinah programs than other programs at YU…though it would make sense for bolstering a new program to have offer such scholarships.

I am a Ba’al Teshuva, currently in the Mechina Program and I can tell you, from personal experience that morning prayers are highly encouraged, but NOT graded, or forced in any way.
I have really been enjoying the Mechina Program; the teachers and Rabbis are wonderful and I do attend prayer services BY CHOICE.

Is the Mechina Program open to those who would like to convert to Judaism? It seems like an ideal way to prepare for conversion.
