The yeshiva was founded in 1978 in Bnei Brak by Rabbi Eliezer Berland, who is still the rosh yeshiva [2] (dean). [3] It is a Breslov yeshiva based on the teachings of Nachman of Breslov. About 30% of the student body is affiliated with the Haredi or national–religious communities. [4]In 1980, an additional branch was opened in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. In 1982 the two branches merged into a single institution with the Bnei Brak yeshiva moving to Jerusalem. Additional branches of the yeshiva have opened with several hundred students. Seven have become fulltime kollels.
It includes ten kollels, three yeshivot for young men, a Talmud Torah, an elementary school for girls, a range of preschools and kindergartens, youth groups, and evening lectures for women. [5]
The teachings of the Yeshiva are published in many places including the Chabad Lubavitch website. [6]
