A typical Beth Midrash, Yeshivas Ner Yisroel, BaltimoreZal, Toras Emes Yeshiva, JerusalemBeth Midrash – Machon HaGavoah LeTorah, Bar-Ilan University
A beth midrash (Hebrew: בית מדרש, "House of Learning"; pl.: batei midrash), also beis medrash or beit midrash, is a hall dedicated for Torah study, often translated as a "study hall".[1] It is distinct from a synagogue (beth knesseth), although the two are often coextensive. In Yiddish the beth midrash may be referred to as a zal, i.e. "hall". Beis midrash can also refer to a yeshiva gedolah, the undergraduate-level program in Orthodox, for boys over 12th grade.[2]
The Arabic term "madrasah" is derived from the same Semitic root, and refers to any type of educational institution. The root דרש means "to seek [knowledge]"[3] and is then generalized to mean "expound".
