Machon Meir
Machon Meir (Template:Langx) is a religious Zionist[1] outreach organization and yeshiva located near Givat Shaul in the Jerusalem neighborhood of Kiryat Moshe. It is one of the larger Jewish outreach (Template:Langx) organizations in Israel.
History & Ideology
Machon Meir was founded shortly after the Yom Kippur War in 1973 by Rabbi Dov Bigon. Bigon was educated at Mercaz HaRav under Rabbi Zvi Yehuda Kook, so while Machon Meir is not officially affiliated with Mercaz HaRav, the two have very similar ideologies.Template:Explain[2] The yeshiva was founded for and geared toward students with less formal Jewish education and/or little knowledge of the Hebrew language.Script error: No such module "Unsubst". Machon Meir encourages full participation in Israeli society and the Israel Defense Forces. There is a female branch of the yeshiva Machon Meir called Machon Ora.
Programs
In Jerusalem, the Machon Meir yeshiva offers full-time, intensive study programs for young Jewish men of all backgrounds and levels of knowledge [3][4] in Hebrew, English, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian.[5] Areas of study include Hebrew Bible, Talmud, the writings of Rabbi Abraham Isaac Kook, history, Musar literature, philosophy, and a male-only Hebrew ulpan.[6] Machon Meir is also a common destination for non-Jews from all over the world seeking an Orthodox conversion to Judaism that will be recognised by the State of Israel.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
