History
The yeshiva has undergone significant changes over the years. In its earlier history, it faced challenges related to student behavior and community concerns, including reports of substance abuse among some students. These issues raised questions about the institution’s direction and its ability to maintain its role as a center for Torah learning and personal development. Under the leadership of Rabbi Noach Victor the yeshiva implemented a series of reforms including a proposal to change its initials from “OJ” to “YOY.” Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
The school recently employed a Rabbi who was arrested for the rapes of multiple women.[4]
