A Yeshivas Kayitz in Costa Rica?

We’ve gotten that question since the very first minute we boarded the plane in J.F.K.
From Mivtzoim in the mall, to the beautiful rain forest in the mountains. A Yeshivas Kayitz program like no other!

With the help of the head Shliach of Chabad of Central America, Rabbino Spalter, located in the heart of San Jose, Costa Rica. A group of 20 Yeshiva Bochurim from Shiur Bais/Gimmel Mesivta, and Six dedicated staff are taking the capital by storm (it´s the rainy season here as well). We are four weeks into Yeshiva. With much help and thanks to the warmest Baal Habos in the country, Shaul Kahana.

We dorm in a beautiful house with a pool and seven bedrooms not too far from our air-conditioned Zal in the Chabad House of San Jose where we have been taking advantage of a full daily schedule of learning. We have already studied many Dafim in Gemara and Mamarim in Lekutei Torah, as well as Shiurim with Baalei Batim from the community, playing sports with the local Jewish boys, milking cows, baking fresh bread, cake and much more.

We’ve taken many trips like to the resort city of Dominical and Manual Antonio four hours away, enjoying trips like world class level four white water rafting, horseback riding along the beach, ATVing, the tropical Rain Forest, the largest Canopying in the country-980 meters (3200 feet—that’s like from 770 to the Kretchme two times!) the beautiful Volcano Arenal in La Fortuna-one of the world’s most active volcanoes, Scuba Diving with the sharks 40 feet deep in Playa Del Coco and much more. We are all looking forward to the next coming weeks of inspiration and learning here in Costa Rica.
