About the Cheder

How It All Began

The Story of The Cheder

Rabbi Tzvi Neuhaus, the Rav and founder of Miami Torah Center, is a well-known figure in the Miami Beach community. He dreamed of opening a thriving cheder for the local boys, filling a gap in the Miami Beach community’s infrastructure. So, he approached Rabbi Yaakov Burstyn, a 5th generation Miami native, and asked him to be the Menahel of a new local boys’ Cheder.

And that’s how The Cheder of Miami was born.

About Ahavas Torah of Miami Beach

To some, their shul is the place they go when they need to catch a minyan. Ahavas Torah is different. It’s so much more than that. Over the past few years, Ahavas Torah has become a true center for learning, spiritual growth, and community for the entire Miami Beach neighborhood.

It’s The Cheder that Miami Beach has been waiting for.
