Yosef Lynn

Rabbi Lynn is Dean of Students, Mashgiach (Spiritual Advisor), and a Senior Lecturer at Machon Yaakov.

Machon Yaakov was founded in 2005 by Rabbi Beryl Gershenfeld (Rosh Yeshiva) and Rabbi Avraham Yitzchok Jacobs (Director). Machon Yaakov has its roots in a sister institution, Machon Shlomo (also located in the Har Nof neighborhood of Jerusalem), which enjoys a more than 25-year reputation for excellence in developing exceptional students. Rabbi Gershenfeld has been deeply involved with Machon Shlomo since its inception, and continues to serve as dean of that institution as well.

In any given year, Machon Yaakov serves 30-35 total students between the 1st and 2nd-year classes (with an incoming class of 20-22).

Students are selected based on a strong desire and ability to learn and grow intellectually, spiritually, and individually.

Though all texts are studied in the original Hebrew and Aramaic languages, many of our students arrive with little or no background in Hebrew. A Hebrew language program is provided to bolster vocabulary and grammar. Most students make tremendous progress in reading skills within a matter of months, if not weeks, as the program is highly intensive and motivating.

The average student age is about 24, ranging from 20-30 (with exceptions made on an individual basis).
