Historic: Yeshivas Ponevezh Opens A Branch In Jerusalem Due To Coronavirus Restrictions


Yeshivah Ponevezh, located in Bnei Brak since 1944, opened a branch for yeshivah bochurim who live in Yerushalayim and can’t travel to Bnei Brak due to the coronavirus restrictions.

A Beis Medrash for bochurim was opened in the Boyaner Beis Medrash in Jerusalem at the instructions of the Rosh Yeshivah, Hagaon Harav Gershon Edelstein.

  1. These gadolim demonstrate true courage, along with the love of their talmidim to incur the risk of the virus, even with the precautions taken. Hopefully within the next year there will be a proven vaccine to protect us all, especially for older rabbonim but for now, they are willing the take the risks to return to learning which has been interrupted for 3 months.
