About Yeshiva Har Bracha
Our institute of higher-Jewish learning, Yeshiva Har Bracha, is expanding quickly! Here are two examples which I believe speak for themselves: When the Yeshiva was first opened in the Jewish year 5752 (1992), there were 37 families living on Har Bracha.
Presently, there are 210 families residing in our community, 80% of whom are either graduates of Yeshiva Hesder Har Bracha, friends, or family members who have chosen to join the community.
Another example of the dedication of our students to the Yeshiva and its goals, is our annual donation drive by graduates and families of the community, which has grown 4-fold since the Yeshiva was established in the Jewish year of 5755 (1995).
I honestly believe these figures accurately reflect the path of Rabbi Melamed and our Yeshiva -- taking the lofty ideals of the "Torah of the Land of Israel" and translating them into everyday life.
