Community Outreach Program Across Israel

 

The Bet El Yeshiva has an expansive and growing community outreach arm, called in Hebrew "Garinim Toraniim," currently spanning from Tel-Aviv and Hod HaSharon, to Ramla and Lod, to Modiin and Beit Shemesh. Graduates of the Bet El Yeshiva, who decide they would like to dedicate their lives to Torah education, move as small nuclei to communities that need support in that area.

 

Every "Garin" has its own character and structure, but all operate with a deep sense of mission. They initiate and perform a wide variety of activities in the field of Torah education, which include classes for children, teenagers, and adults, preparation for bar and bat mitzvahs, events on Jewish holidays, strengthening neighborhood synagogues, and more. The community outreach nucleus in Tel-Aviv currently hosts more than 500 students every week!

Greetings from the Talmudic period

 

Five large jugs, whole and undamaged, have been discovered in the ancient Shilo archaeological site. They were placed there for safekeeping between 1600 and 1800 years ago, just as the Talmud was being compiled.
