History

[edit]

Rabbi Chaim Brovender started Hartman's, a yeshiva for Diaspora Jews without a text-based Jewish education, on the advice of Itri Yeshiva founder Rabbi Mordechai Elefant.[5] In 1978, Yeshivat Darche Noam was created as a spinoff of Hartman's by Rabbis Shaya Karlinsky, Yitzchak Feigenbaum[6], and Yitzchak Hirshfeld . [citation needed]

The Shapell College of Jewish Studies was founded in 1976 by Yavneh. [citation needed] Darche Naom merged with the Shapell College of Jewish Studies in January of 1980.

In 1976, Bruria was founded by Rabbi Chaim Brovender as a spinoff of Yeshivas Itri's women's program. It later became Shapell's women's college.

In 1983, a women's division Midreshet Rachel was opened.[7]
