From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mir yeshiva (Hebrew: ישיבת מיר, Yeshivas Mir), commonly known as the Mirrer Yeshiva or The Mir, is an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva in Jerusalem, Israel. It is presently distinguished as the largest yeshiva in Israel with a student body of 6,000 students, of which a large segment are from the United States and Canada. It is also believed to be the largest yeshiva in the world.


Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel was the rosh yeshiva of the Mir yeshiva in Jerusalem, until his death on November 8, 2011. He is succeeded by his son, Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel (current Rosh Yeshiva of the Mir).
