Founded by Harav Shlomo Gottesman שליט״א, son of Harav Menachem Gottesman שליט״א, and a mechanech with over 25 years of educational and outreach experience, Mesivta is the fulfillment of a dream. As the only dormitory mesivta high-school west of the Rockies located in a rural setting, talmidim from the Greater United States benefit from the secluded surroundings of the Mesivta while only minutes from the major centers of Yiddishkeit in the region.
Located just thirty five minutes north of the city of Los Angeles, MGLA is situated among the serene and pristine oak trees and picturesque mountains of Calabasas, California. The crisp and refreshing air, the surrounding nature and wildlife, coupled with our sprawling 8.22 acre campus provide an unparalleled environment for scholastic success and personal growth.
