While Machon Yaakov has only been in existence for 2 years, we have seen our departing students go on to pursue careers (with two recent graduates headed for McKinsey & Company in Germany and Bear Stearns in New York) or further studies (with one student off to law school, another headed for graduate work in philosophy, and a few others headed for further Torah studies in a "mainstream" yeshiva).

Our sister institution, Machon Shlomo, is a likely guide. Over the past 25 years, about 90% of Machon Shlomo graduates have found their way to (or back to) careers in business, finance, medicine and academia. They are spread across the US, as well as into Europe and Israel. Indeed nearly every major Jewish community counts Machon Shlomo graduates amongst their community leaders and activists. Many have become prominent philanthropists. About 10% have gone on to become rabbis, and are either leading communities of their own, or are working in the field of Jewish outreach or education. Whatever walk of life they have chosen, they are known for their high level of passion, enthusiasm and sense of responsibility toward the Jewish people and Torah values.
