Yeshiva Shavei Hevron was founded in the heart of the City of Our Forefathers during the years 1980-1982, with the aim of returning the Voice of Torah to the city of Hevron. Since then, the Yeshiva has grown and today, has a student body of about 300 students, about 80 of whom, are married. These students learn with great self-sacrifice, courage and joy.
The Torah of Rav Avraham Yitzhak HaCohen Kook ztz"l and his son and successor, Rav Tzvi Yehuda Kook, is the basis of the educational approach at Shavei Hevron. The Yeshiva aspires to found a generation of Torah Scholars, who having a firm basis in Halacha and toil in Torah, will help to strengthen the foundation of faith within Am Yisrael.
Under the leadership of the Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Moshe Bleicher, shlit"a and the Acting Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Hananel Etrog shlit"a, the Yeshiva strives to create leaders and educators who are sensitive to the needs of Am Yisrael and have faith in the greatness of the present generation, the generation of the Geula. Great emphasis is placed on The State of Israel, which is seen as, the "Seat of Hashem", through which, He is revealed in the world.
Diligent Torah Learning, in the very place where Our Forefathers, the roots of our nation lived, gives Am Yisrael the strength and the means to reach its shared national goals.
The students at Shavei Hevron are instilled with a sense of being emissaries for the Jewish People. Many graduates continue on to fulfill roles in education and many other realms of endeavor, while maintaining and applying the Torah values acquired at the Yeshiva.
Young students from all over the country learn in the Beit Midrash before and after fulfilling their army service, alongside married students of various ages, who have established their homes in Kiryat Arba, Har Hevron and the nearby region.
