Yeshivat Shaare Torah (more popularly known as Shaare Torah or just Shaare) is a Sephardic private Jewish day school program located in Brooklyn, New York. It includes elementary schools and high schools for both boys and girls, separately.
Shaare Torah is affiliated philosophically with the haredi branch of Judaism. Its stated goal is "to promote and foster the development of a Ben Torah, a young [person] capable of actively and wholesomely interacting with his fellow Jews and citizens".
Shaare Torah primarily caters to the Sephardic Jewish community of Brooklyn, but also has students from around the Tri-State area.
Many graduates participate in year-long programs at yeshivot and seminaries in Israel for a year. Afterwards, some continue their studies in similar institutions, enroll in university, or go straight into the workforce. Some of the most popular universities among Shaare alumni, such as Brooklyn College and Baruch College, grant as much as a year's worth of credit to students who study in Israel, allowing them to apply these credits to their undergraduate degree.
My father married a pure Cherokee
My mother's people were ashamed of me
The indians said I was white by law
The White Man always called me "Indian Squaw"
Half-breed, that's all I ever heard
Half-breed, how I learned to hate the word
Half-breed, she's no good they warned
Both sides were against me since the day I was born
We never settled, went from town to town
When you're not welcome you don't hang around
The other children always laughed at me "Give her a feather, she's a Cherokee"
We weren't accepted and I felt ashamed
Nineteen I left them, tell me who's to blame
My life since then has been from man to man
