Ohr Somayach in South Africa is an affiliate of Ohr Somayach, Jerusalem, a network of Haredi yeshivas and Synagogues. Like its parent institution, it focuses on educating baal teshuvas ("returnees" to Orthodox Judaism). It has three branches in South Africa - Johannesburg, Sandton (north of Johannesburg) and Cape Town.
In Johannesburg, Ohr Somayach operates a full time Yeshiva, headed by Rabbi Yechezkel Auerbach. Its Bet Midrash was established in 1990, and its Kollel, Toras Chaim, in 1996; it also operates the Ma'ayan Bina Midrasha. "Ohrsom" is its young adults' division.
Ohr Somayach Cape Town is a community located in the heart of Sea Point. Its Bet Midrash is under Rabbi D. Brett.
