History

Tvunot Publisher is the publishing house of Herzog Academic College, which was founded in 1973 as Herzog College, a teacher-training institution affiliated with Yeshivat Har Etzion. The college was named after diplomat Yaakov Herzog. In 2013, Herzog College merged with Lifshitz College and was rebranded as Herzog Academic College.
