Kiryat Malachi Yeshiva

Kiryat Malachi Yeshiva (Hebrew: ישיבת קריית מלאכי) is a Haredi yeshiva located in the town of Kiryat Malachi, Israel. It was established in the 1980s by Rabbi Yehuda Amit, who himself came from a background of becoming religious (baal teshuva), on the recommendation of Rabbi Chaim Shaul Greineman. The yeshiva was created to absorb students who had not previously studied in a Haredi yeshiva framework, including secular and national-religious youth, high school graduates, and graduates of yeshiva high schools. It functions as a "transit station" on the path to a "regular" Haredi yeshiva, but students may remain and study there without time limit, often until marriage. In its early years, most students were graduates of religious high schools or yeshiva high schools. Today, approximately half to two-thirds of the students are Haredi yeshiva boys who come for a short period of strengthening. As of 2025, about 350 boys study at the yeshiva. In the early 2020s, a new dormitory building was constructed. The campus is located in an open, green environment, and life there is characterized by a good atmosphere, mutual respect, and seriousness. The yeshiva offers a unique approach, described as having "electricity in the air." Its gates are open to anyone who seeks to deepen their knowledge of Gemara and all subjects of Judaism, to broaden horizons, to utilize time for spiritual elevation, and to confront penetrating questions in Torah, outlook, and faith. Students come from all segments of society, including graduates of yeshiva high schools and baalei teshuva, beginners and advanced, veterans and occasional guests, academics and army graduates. Torah giants from all circles accompany the yeshiva from its founding and support its open and unique approach. In addition to Gemara study, the yeshiva offers lessons in mussar (ethics), hashkafa (Jewish thought), halacha (Jewish law), and the weekly Torah portion. Rabbi Shmuel Baum serves as mashgiach (spiritual supervisor). Rabbi Yitzchak Pinchas Goldwasser gives a bi-monthly mussar talk. Many rabbis from the mainstream Lithuanian stream visit the yeshiva for talks and lessons on various topics. The yeshiva also hosts guests for Shabbat, which is described as a unique and unforgettable experience, with many guests from diverse backgrounds staying each week.
