New Haredi Yeshivat Hesder Opens in Israel
Israel Sci-Tech Schools (ISTS) has inaugurated a new Haredi Yeshivat Hesder at its Hermelin College in Netanya, in collaboration with Rabbi Yonatan Reiss, Founder & Director of Chedvata.
The yeshiva was established in response to growing demand from local families seeking an educational path for their children that integrates religious commitment, academic excellence, and service to the State of Israel.
This innovative program offers a unique model: students will dedicate their mornings to Torah study and their afternoons to matriculation coursework and a practical engineering degree. Upon completion of their studies, graduates will enlist for full military service in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).
“We at Israel Sci-Tech Schools are proud to be part of this unique and groundbreaking program, which allows Haredi youngsters to continue their Torah learning while also contributing to Israel by pursuing higher education and later serving in the IDF,” said Raz Frohlich, CEO of the Israel Sci-Tech Schools Network. “In this historic juncture that Israel is facing, we at ISTS are leading a change that will greatly impact the integration of the Haredi community and their contribution to Israeli society.”
