Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh is a major Yeshiva in Israel near the city of Yavneh and adjacent to the Kibbutz Kvutzat Yavne. The Yeshiva has an enrollment of around 450 students, including students from Israel and overseas, who reside in dormitories on campus. Overseas students come from countries including the United States, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom, Belgium, Switzerland, Italy, Austria, Brazil, Australia and South Africa. The Yeshiva has a Kollel as well as a Kollel Ledayanut, or Kollel for training of Dayyanim. The first Yeshivat Hesder, Kerem BeYavneh was founded in 1953. The first Rosh Yeshiva of Kerem B'Yavneh was the renowned scholar Rabbi Chaim Yaakov Goldvicht. Following his retirement, Goldvicht was succeeded by Rabbi Mordechai Greenberg, himself an alumnus of the yeshiva.

The Yeshiva has produced many notable alumnae in the course of the last 54 years, including Ashkenazi Chief Rabbi Yona Metzger. A number of the staff at RIETS studied at the Yeshiva, including Rabbis Mordechai Willig, Dovid Willig, Boruch Simon, Zvi Sobolofsky, Meir Goldvicht, and Yonason Sacks. Knesset member Yitzchak Levy and Uri Bin Nun, current director the Israel Electric Corporation also attended Kerem B'Yavneh.

The Yeshiva is also the alma mater of Yitzchak Rabin's assassin, Yigal Amir who studied at the school for five years.[1]Following the assassination one of the Yeshiva's lecturers David Kav was questioned alongside Nahum Rabinovitch of Ma'ale Adumim Yeshiva and Shmuel Dvir of Har Etzion Yeshiva on the suspicion that they had sanctioned the killing.[2][3][4][5] Kav was released unconditionally after questioning and ultimately no charges were pressed against any of the Rabbis.
