[COMMUNICATED] The Lakewood mosdos number in the dozens. There are Bais Yaakovs and chedarim, mesivtos and high schools, each providing its student body with a place of learning and growth.

And then there’s Mesivta of Eatontown, a school that distinguishes itself among the landscape of Lakewood mosdos by filling a very specific niche. Built on the premise of warmth and unconditional love, the yeshiva gives struggling high school boys a place where they can learn and grow in an atmosphere of acceptance.

It is here, where every boy becomes a part of the Eatontown family, that the challenged bachur can reach a place of fulfillment within his yiddishkeit, where he can thrive and taste success, where he can learn and flourish within a typical yeshiva framework.

Every child, each bachur, each person, has a unique place in klal yisroel. With their trademark warmth and open acceptance, Mesivta of Eatontown ensures that every single boy can discover his kochos and learn how to play his special role.

Lakewood needs Mesivta of Eatontown. The premier makom torah in America is filled with batei midrshim that resonate with the song of kol torah, and it is the entire community’s achrayus to make sure that every single bachur has a voice in that song. Mesivta of Eatontown fulfills that role, helping the community to ensure that no boy is left behind.

Since Mesivta of Eatontown’s move to Lakewood a few years back, the yeshiva has become part of the fabric of the Lakewood community. Much of the hatzlacha and growth of Lakewood can be attributed to the fact there is a place like Mesivta of Eatontown which helps every bachur find his place in klal yisroel. When each boy can shine, Lakewood can be a true makom torah.

Mesivta of Eatontown needs Lakewood. A mosad cannot thrive on its own, and the yeshiva would not be the tremendous success it is today without the constant support of the Lakewood community. There is an acceptance and a firm allegiance for the yeshiva and its mission that is part of the backbone of Mesivta of Eatontown. It goes well beyond financial support; it is a feeling of togetherness, of sharing in a joint mission, that flows throughout the yeshiva and the entire town of Lakewood.

The Lakewood community gives to Mesivta of Eatontown: When the yeshiva hosts an open event for the community, whether it’s a ski trip or a concert, a parlor meeting or a dinner, the Lakewood community flocks to the event to show their support to the yeshiva. When a Mesivta of Eatontown boy davens in any shul in Lakewood, he is greeted with warmth and acceptance, with a shalom aleichem and a kind word.

And the Mesivta of Eatontown gives back to the community: When an Eatontown boy is learning in a shul on Shavuos, the hasmadah in the shul becomes greater, stronger. When a struggling boy needs a place to learn, Mesivta of Eatontown will welcome him with open arms.

There’s a sense of family that defines the connection between the yeshiva and the communit; it’s a feeling of being part of one whole. Together, the Lakewood community and the Mesivta of Eatontown can help each and every boy discover his place in klal yisroel.

Kol Yisroel Yachad: We’re In It Together.
