Hakotel
“Yeshivat Hakotel is a Religious Zionist/Modern Orthodox Hesder yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem, with a one-year program for overseas students. The overseas boys are integrated into the Israeli yeshiva, learning alongside Israeli students while having English shiurim and overseas staff. It is a serious, full-day learning program, with Gemara as the main focus alongside Tanach, Halacha, Machshava and Mussar. The yeshiva puts a strong emphasis on Torat Yisrael, Am Yisrael and Eretz Yisrael, and on building a strong kesher with the Rabbeim. It is geared toward mature Bnei Torah who are ready to focus on learning and make their own decisions about their next step.”
