Yeshivat Birkat Moshe

Yeshivat Birkat Moshe

Yeshivat Birkat Moshe is a hesder yeshiva located in the Mitzpeh Nevo neighborhood of Maale Adumim, Israel. It was founded in 1977 by Rabbis Haim Sabato and Yitzchak Sheilat, then two young rabbis from Yeshivat HaKotel, in Jerusalem.

For the first nine years since itsa inception it was situated in the area Mishor Adummim, in tents, before moving to its current campus and location in Mitzpeh Nevo. Due to the founder rabbis' young age at the time they refused the title rosh yeshiva, and so in 1983 they were joined by Rabbi Nachum Rabinowitz, who has acted as the "rosh yeshiva" to this day.

It is known for its emphasis on the Rambam, which is very much in line with the "rosh yeshiva"'s personal studies; he is the author of a comprehensive commentary and elucidation of the Rambam's major work the Mishne Torah, called "Yad Peshuta".

Despite this the yeshiva still has a wide range of students; due to its wide range of rabbis from within the Religius Zionist community, and its wide curriculum in Jewish studies: Tanakh and philosophy as will as Gemara.

Today it has around 300 students.
