Yeshiva Shavey Shomron.  The yeshiva, founded approximately thirteen years ago in the community of the same name, has flourished and is thriving today, thank G-d. 

Yeshiva Shavey Shomron lies near the foot of Mt. Ebal in the Northern Shomron.  Mt Ebal is one of the two mountains mentioned in the book of Joshua, along with Mt. Gerizim, as the mountains of blessing and cursing.  Shavey Shomron is one of the communities encircling Shechem, the city of Josheph's tomb.  Shavey is located to the northwest of the Shechem, while communities of Yitzhar, Har Bracha, Elon More, and Itimar surround the city from the other sides.  Such a biblical setting brings freshness and inspiration to the study of Torah.

The goal of the yeshiva is to cultivate within our students good middos, to foster in them a love for learning Torah, and to develop in them yiras shamayim, the fear of G-d.  Our hope is that our students will build and strengthen Am Yisrael, the Jewish people, in the geulot, and in particular Israeli Jewry.  We are currently experiencing the return of the Jewish people to their Torah and home land, and we are excited to see many of these returnees come to Yeshiva Shavey Shomron.

 This year, the yeshiva welcomed first year students from not only Israel but also from abroad.  From such places as Switzerland, Holland, and France. 
Yeshiva Kollel has a family atmosphere that is real and full of deep inner simcha.  Rabbi Schmidt teaches and practices to see the good in everyone and in every  situation.

The yeshiva offers two tracks.  The Hesder track students combine the study of Torah with army service, serving in all areas of the Israeli army.  The Gavoah track students learn Torah full-time.

Yeshiva Shavey Shomron is the northernmost yeshiva of the Shomron.  It is a major drawing point and reason that so many have chosen to call Shavey Shomron their home.  We believe that building a large, strong yeshiva in Shavey Shomron is equivalent to building up the whole area
