Mesivta Ateres Yaakov (commonly referred to as MAY) is an Orthodox Jewish, all-male high school in Lawrence, New York.
By 2010, a rapidly expanding student body saw the Mesivta move to a 27,000-square-foot (2,500 m2) campus in Lawrence, New York, where it currently operates.
After years of growth, financial issues caught up to the Yeshiva, prompting MAY to become an independent organization by 2003, and move operations to Lynbrook.
After success in Lynbrook, the Mesivta moved to a 3.5 million dollar campus in Lawrence, New York.
