A Historic, One-Time, Time-Sensitive Campaign

After more than three decades of complex negotiations with the State of Israel and related authorities, we are finally moving from lease to full ownership of Mount Zion on behalf of the Jewish people, permanently establishing the Jewish character of this ancient Jewish holy site. Be a part of this historic campaign!

Connect to and Experience
the True Essence of Judaism

We are here in Diaspora Yeshiva at the beginning of a new zeman (5786). What are we doing here? What is this Yeshiva about?

The Yeshiva is about more than Rabbis teaching information, we are guiding young Jewish men to the true essence of themselves and to their core being, learning the depths of the Torah and doing mitzvos as a result of our kedushas Yisrael as sons of the King; everything flows from that.

There are too many young Jewish men who go to a yeshiva to collect a stamp in order to simply fit into a Jewish community and to be part of the group.

Our students, on the other hand, are those who are looking for an authentic Jewish experience, to connect with and experience the true essence of Judaism—that is what Diaspora Yeshiva is about.

Every Jew from around the world in the diaspora should come to Israel, but if they cannot come, at least a member of their family should come to Israel and learn Torah, and enjoy, and seek the power and the holiness of Mount Zion, and to connect, and then shine that light for their countries of birth. As it says in the Bible, “Ki miTziyon teitzei Torah,” the Torah will go forth from Zion.

All Jews should come. You don’t need to have any background. The Diaspora Yeshiva is here to teach people with no background, and surely also with, to connect and be involved, and seek the holiness of Jerusalem and G-d.

Yeshiva Student Testimonial - גילוי נאות של תלמיד ישיבת התפוצות

“Diaspora Yeshiva has allowed me to grow in Torah and middot [character] in a way that seems catered to me. It’s a place that isn’t about “one-size-fits-all,” but about finding my personal relationship with Hashem.”
– Binyamin T.

In the words of the Founder

Rabbi Mordechai Goldstein zt"l, Father of the Baal Teshuva Movement | הרב מרדכי גולדשטיין זצ"ל, אבי תנועת בעלי התשובה

“And we are the ombudsman for the whole world, and we can stand without blemish, with morality, and justice, and care, and be a nation that’s different, and the nation that we’re supposed to be—that we’re designated by G-d to bring forth into the world. And that is what is meant, ‘From Mount Zion will come forth the Torah.’ The Diaspora Yeshiva is the most serious institution that can be, and we want to play that role.”
