For those who haven't yet heard, this past summer we completed construction of a new floor of the Bnei Tzvi Boys Yeshiva High School dormitory, adding 80 more beds, in response to the ever-expanding student body.
Bnei Tzvi boasts high achievements in both secular and Hebrew studies, and has a nation-wide reputation for offering Torah study at the highest level in a joyful and challenging atmosphere. In fact, Elkana Friedman, a student at Bnei Tzvi, won a recent International Bible Competition for Youth, and another Bnei Tzvi student placed second in the national High School Talmud competition. So not surprisingly, the dorm is already once again at max capacity, full of students who come from all over the country to learn Torah from the best of the best.
As a result, just a couple months ago, Bet El Institutions Founder Ketzaleh gave the order to draw up plans for an entirely new high school dormitory building. The contract with the architect was signed in October, and plans are already in the works!
The majority of the high school’s graduates continue their studies in yeshivot of higher learning prior to enlisting in the IDF. Many join elite army units and key commando units, like former Bnei Tzvi graduate David Golobentzitz z”l, an officer in Golani who was killed in an operation in Hevron last year.
