Yeshiva Profile
As a Hesder Yeshiva, the students of Shilo combine intensive Yeshiva studies with full-combat army service in the IDF. After completing the five-year rpogram, some students opt to further their rabbinic studies in the Kollel, eventually receiving the highly regarded Semicha of the Chief Rabbinate of Israel. Other stdents certif as teachels with an academic degree (B.Ed) in the Lifshicz Teachers Sominary, with which the Yeshiva is affiliated.
Shilo- Past and Prosent
The Yeshiva is located in the modern village of Shilo north of Jeursalem. Perched on a Samarian hilltop it offers a magnificent view of the surrounding hillsides and the remains of the ancient city of Shilo, site of the Tabernacle, and the capital of Israel for over three and a haly centuries. Today, imbued with the aura of that ancient metropolis, the Yeshiva has revived the tradition of Shilo as a center of Torat Yisrael in Eretz Yisrael.
The immediate urgent necessity is to build new dormitory buildings to replace the existing inadequate mobile facilities. Work has started on five separate dormitory units, two floors per unit. Each floor, which has its own separate entrance, comprises four bedrooms, each with its own bathroom facilites, and a central kitchenette / sitting area. There is space for three students per bedroom. Upon completion of all five units, the new dormitory will have facilities for 120 students.
Fundraising for the Yeshiva is handled in the U.S. through the American Friends of Shilo.
All contributions are Tax-Deductible.
