History
The yeshiva was founded in 1978 in Bnei Brak by Rabbi Eliezer Berland, who is still the rosh yeshiva.[3] It is a Breslov yeshiva based on the teachings of Nachman of Breslov. About 30 percent of the student body is affiliated with the Haredi or national–religious communities.[2] In 1980, an additional branch was opened in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. In 1982 the two branches merged into a single institution with the Bnei Brak yeshiva moving to Jerusalem. Additional branches of the yeshiva have opened with several hundred students. Seven have become full-time kollels.
