Yeshivat Maalot was founded fifty years ago following the terrorist attack on a school in the city, during which 22 school children were tragically murdered. The yeshiva was established to inspire hope and to be a source of strength for the residents of Maalot and other cities in the Upper Galilee.
For many years Maalot’s Rosh Yeshiva and the head of Bnei Akiva High schools , Rabbi Yehoshua Weitzman, has spearheaded multiple large scale community projects in the Galilee, inspiring students and alumni to partake in his campaigns.
