From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- See Beit El Synagogue, for the ancient Sephardic and Yemenite Yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem, well known for the study of Kabbalah.
The Beit El Yeshiva (Hebrew: ישיבת בית אל) is a Religious Zionist Yeshiva situated in the Israeli settlement of Bet El near Ramallah, in the Binyamin region of the West Bank.
The Yeshiva was founded in late 1977 by a group of students from the Mercaz haRav yeshiva in Jerusalem. The students originally lived on a nearby army base, but today the yeshiva has its own premises, and over 250 students enrolled. The Rosh Yeshiva is Rabbi Zalman Baruch Melamed.
