Fourth Annual Alumnae Yom Iyun Celebrates 13 Years and Over 1000 Talmidot
MMY Looks Towards the Future
Looking towards the future, MMY will be run under the direct leadership of Rabbi Alan Haber and Rabbi David Katz, who have been the Directors of the school since its inception thirteen years ago. Additionally, Rabbi Eliezer Lerner, who has also been one of the pillars of the faculty from the very first year, will be expanding his educational role and will serve as Rosh Bet Midrash. We are fortunate to have a team of such seasoned educators who will provide a unique mix of continuity and new energy to our wonderful institution. Additionally, Rabbi Yedidya Berzon, Director of Mevaseret Institutions, will be returning to the faculty of MMY next year and participating actively in the vibrant Bet Midrash and educational environment. We’re very excited about the coming year, which will surely inaugurate a new era in our Yeshiva’s development MMY Alumnae Take Leadership Role
As part of the effort to eternally memorialize the martyrs and to use the tragedy as a springboard for positive accomplishments as the best weapon to combat the terrorist's evil designs, three MMY Alumnae, Deena Klein (5767), Aliza Kranzler (5768) and Tova Levin (5768) joined with several other individuals to organize the world-wide "B'lev Echad" campaign to unite Jews all over the world. The event, which took place on Rosh Chodesh Adar, centered around the anonymous donation of eight Sifrei Torah in memory of the eight boys. Jewish schools and communities around the world, as well as countless individuals, participated in special learning and mitzvah projects in commemoration of the event. Tens of thousands joined by live webcast, and our talmidot in Israel also participated by learning the entire Tanach, and by attending the event in person.

See also this website which was set up by Shayna Stollman and Lauren Apfel (both MMY 5768) last spring, to solicit donations to help rebuild the yeshiva. Who Was Rabbi Najara? MMY is located at 25 Rabbi Najara Street in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Givat Shaul. Have you ever wondered who Rabbi Najara actually was?
