Bet El Institutions Construction Update

Written and translated by Dena Udren

Bet El institutions is currently undergoing several record development projects. In order to give you an update on each one, we spoke to the Bet El institutions development team,  Baruch Gordon and Yaakov Harnik.

The site of the new Bet El Yeshiva dormitory is the area in the foreground, adjacent to the blue and yellow awnings. 

The Bet El Yeshiva is one of the most sought-after religious-Zionist yeshivot in the country, and as such, there is a real demand to accept as many young men as possible. This year the Yeshiva accepted its largest incoming class on record, and therefore is in dire need of more dormitory space for the extra students. In fact, this year, the Yeshiva had to turn away many students for lack of  space. 

The picture above shows the site of where the Yeshiva's new dormitory will be located, specifically the empty area between the building on the left and the blue and yellow awnings on the right. The new dormitory will have 30 rooms and G-d willing, will be started in the coming year.

Staff and Married Students' Residence

The second update concerns the photo above, of the Bet El Yeshiva married couples' apartments. There are 20 apartment units in the building and the anticipated completion date of the building is this coming March. 

Bnei Tzvi Yeshiva High School Dormitory

Our next update is about the Bnei Tzvi Yeshiva High School dormitory. During the past year, we added another floor to the entire dormitory, now making three floors of dormitory housing for the boys. In addition, we added a new wing of the school where there are protected rooms that can be used as bomb shelters should the need arise, but are primarily used for social activities for the students. 

New IDF Preparatory Academy Campus

The new IDF Preparatory Academy campus is starting to take shape. The 60,000 square foot campus is comprised of two buildings. The smaller building, in the foreground of the photo above, contains the Beit Midrash (study hall), offices, and classrooms. The larger building in the background houses the dormitory, cafeteria, gym, and "krav maga" (Israeli self-defense) training rooms.

All in all, it's an exciting time for Bet El institutions, and we look forward to sharing future updates as these projects progress.
