Slabodka yeshiva (Bnei Brak)
The Slabodka yeshiva
Slabodka yeshiva is a branch of the Hebron Yeshiva. It was opened in Bnei Brak by Rabbi Isaac Sher, a son-in-law of the Alter of Slabodka, Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel.
Rabbi Sher was succeeded by his own son-in-law, Rabbi Mordechai Shulman who is in turn succeeded by his son-in-law, Rabbi Moshe Hillel Hirsch.[1] The yeshiva has approximately 500 students. Despite the Lithuanian affiliation of the yeshiva, many of the students are chassidic. Additionally, there are quite a few ultra-conservative followers of the Chazon Ish.
