Shuvu Banim (also Yeshivat Breslov—Nechamat Tzion) is a yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem.[1]
History
The yeshiva was founded in 1978 in Bnei Brak by Rabbi Eliezer Berland, who is still the rosh yeshiva[2] (dean).[3] It is a Breslov yeshiva based on the teachings of Nachman of Breslov. About 30 percent of the student body is affiliated with the Haredi or national–religious communities.[4] In 1980, an additional branch was opened in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. In 1982 the two branches merged into a single institution with the Bnei Brak yeshiva moving to Jerusalem. Additional branches of the yeshiva have opened with several hundred students. Seven have become full-time kollels.
Institutions
It includes ten kollels, three yeshivot for young men, a Talmud Torah, an elementary school for girls, a range of preschools and kindergartens, youth groups, and evening lectures for women.[5]
Teachings
The teachings of the Yeshiva are published in many places including the Chabad Lubavitch website.[6]
