Netiv Meir Yeshiva

What Netiv Meir Yeshiva does

Netiv Meir Yeshiva (formally Yeshivat Bnei Akiva Netiv Meir) is a religious Zionist secondary school operating continuously in Jerusalem since 1952 under the Bnei Akiva educational umbrella. It serves male students through a vertically integrated pathway comprising a middle school (grades 7–9), an upper division (grades 10–12), a boarding school, and a post-high-school beit midrash (study house), targeting religious Zionist families seeking an integrated Judaic and academic secondary education.

The institution's academic product extends beyond classical Talmudic studies into structured specialization tracks in Medicine (delivered in partnership with Shaarei Zedek Hospital), Computer Science, Biology, Physics, History, and Land of Israel Studies, and includes an Academy in High School program launched in 2013 in partnership with the Open University that allows students to earn university credit while still in secondary school. In 2022 the yeshiva relocated to the Har Homa neighborhood in Jerusalem, a major capital move accompanied by a generational leadership transition with the appointment of Rabbi Davel (Doli) Basuk as head of yeshiva.

As a registered non-profit association, the operating model is funded primarily through tuition combined with Israeli Ministry of Education funding, the latter covering less than 70% of operating costs. The school is headquartered at Hapisga 7, Jerusalem, and its economic significance is rooted in its role within the Bnei Akiva network and the broader religious-Zionist educational pipeline rather than in commercial returns.
