Yeshivas Chiddushei Harim, a beacon of Torah and yiras shamayim in the secular city of Tel Aviv, is known for high intellectual performance and standards in Yiddishkeit. This is in large part due to the administration and staff’s unusual concern for the student’s physical and spiritual wellbeing.
Many of our students come from families who lack the means to properly support them. The cost of living in Israel is one of the highest in the world, and this directly contributes to high statistics of families living below the poverty line.
When his parents are struggling, a yeshivah student cannot be at ease and apply himself properly to serious Torah study. In some cases concern evolves into anxiety and eventually into various disorders or emotional instability.
The yeshivah goes to great lengths to help these students by providing help, such as mentors, professional counselors, and gift cards at clothing shops before Yamim Tovim. On a daily basis the yeshivah serves hot nutritious meals and makes sure the students are all well-adjusted and have everything they need. Some parents admit that their boys enjoy better meals in yeshivah than at home. Baruch Hashem, we see our students finishing yeshivah happy, healthy, and well-prepared for life.
