The Rabbis for Human Rights Yeshiva A program combining weekly study and volunteer fieldwork for Israeli University students promoting Jewish values in defense of human rights stipends"..The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good
understanding have all they who do his commandments.." RHR’s Yeshiva program attracts motivated and capable students. It is essential that we make their participation possible by providing a stipend. The stipend is calculated according to the government sponsored “Perach” program scholarships, adjusted for the Beit Midrash’s additional time demands. Students receive $ 1,500 for some 180 hours of study and volunteer work over the school year. |
