History

In 2000, Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, the rosh yeshiva of the Mir Yeshiva in Jerusalem, founded a branch of his yeshiva in the Brachfeld neighborhood of Modi'in Illit. Rabbi Aryeh Finkel, a grandson of Mir rosh yesiva Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel, who had been giving a shiur in Mir Yerushalayim until then, was appointed rosh yeshiva.[1] Rabbi Nosson Tzvi remained involved to the yeshiva over the years,[2] sometimes coming for Shabbos, among other things.

After Rabbi Aryeh Finkel's passing in 2016, his son Rabbi Binyamin Finkel succeeded him as rosh yeshiva. Rabbi Noam Alon, son-in-law of Rabbi Nosson Tzvi, also serves as a rosh yeshiva.[3]
