LOCATION
Mevaseret Zion is a quiet community with all the amenities of a modern
town. Located away from the hustle and bustle of city life, it provides
an ideal environment conducive to learning and contemplation. At the
same time, a short 15-minute bus ride takes students to Jerusalem,
the spiritual center of the world. Buses from Mevaseret Zion to Jerusalem
are frequent (every 15-20 minutes) and are punctual. A bus schedule
is available on
the Egged website: www.egged.co.il
CAMPUS
The Kiryat Chinuch (Educational Complex) houses our Yeshiva, the Meretz
Kollel and a religious Israeli boys' high school. This kind of campus
brings together a diverse group of Jews: Israelis and Americans,
Ashkenazim and Sephardim, ensuring that students of all backgrounds
will be able
to find their niche.
The relationship between the Meretz Kollel and Sha'arei Mevaseret,
as well as the presence in our Beit Midrash of our own YSMZ Kollel,
allow us to offer our students unparalleled opportunities to learn
with older, more experienced talmidei chachamim. Most of our students
spend the majority of the afternoon learning with Kollel members, in
both chavrutot (one-on-one) and chaburot (small groups).
ACCOMODATIONS
Students are housed in dormitories on the Sha'arei Mevaseret/Kiryat
Chinuch campus, all in close proximity to the Beit Midrash and other
facilities.
Dormitory rooms all contain high-quality furniture, closets,
personal safes
and airconditioning.
CAMPUS FACILITIES
During free time, students can enjoy a game of basketball or a ping-pong
match, relax on the grass, or take a short stroll to the nearby
shopping mall.
Students have round-the-clock access to telephones, refrigerators,
vending machines and laundry facilities.
DINING HALL
Tuition includes three meals every day in the Yeshiva's large and well-equipped
dining hall, including a rich and varied breakfast, a dairy lunch and
a meat dinner.
Thursdays' meals are reversed (meat for lunch, milk
for dinner), with pizza for mishmar at 11:30pm. All meals are catered
by a Mehadrin caterer, renowned for their wide range and wholesome
menu.
COMMUNICATIONS
For a nominal fee, students may sign up for a private email account
which can be accessed from computers located on campus. Students
may also send and receive faxes from our office.
