Founded in 1994, the Yeshivat Hesder in Sderot is one of the biggest Hesder Yeshivot in all of Israel. With a student body of over 500 pupils from communities all over the country, the Hesder combines intense Torah study with Israel's mandatory army service. Over the past decade, students in Hesder programs across Israel have emerged as the most resilient and committed soldiers in the IDF and students from the Sderot Hesder are no exception.
The Hesder in Sderot is a true pillar in the community spreading a sincere love of Torah Zionism to the entire Western Negev region. In addition to the many hours spent studying in the Beit Midrash, our students demonstrate their commitment to the residents of Sderot through many
volunteer projects.
While the Hesder was founded over fourteen years ago, the past seven years have been extremely difficult, with the daily Kassam rocket bombardments launched at Sderot from nearby Gaza. Despite the situation, the Hesder continues to grow, and to thrive and literally to build in Sderot as the ultimate Zionistic response to the terror.
The next time you are in Israel, we would love the opportunity to host you at our institution, so that you can experience firsthand a true Torah Zionism success story in Southern Israel. To arrange a visit to our campus please email
