Slabodka yeshiva (Bnei Brak)

A branch of the Slabodka Yeshiva was opened in Bnei Brak by Rabbi Isaac Sher, a son-in-law of the Alter of Slabodka, Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel. Rabbi Sher was succeeded by his own son-in-law, Rabbi Mordechai Shulman who is in turn succeeded by his son-in-law, Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch. Presently, the Yeshiva houses approximately 500 Talmudic students. Despite the Lithuanian affiliation of the Yeshiva, many of its students are chassidic. Additionally, there are quite a few ultra-conservative followers of the methodology set up by the Chazon Ish.
