The yeshiva has purchased a building formerly owned by the Torat Chaim endowment in the Old City's Muslim Quarter, adjacent to its current location. The building was evacuated by Jewish residents during the 1936 Arab revolt. The acquisition will double the yeshiva's size.
The purchase of the building, located in the sensitive Muslim Quarter of Jerusalem's Old City, marks a significant expansion for the right-wing religious Zionist yeshiva. The building was originally part of the Torat Chaim endowment and was evacuated by Jewish families during the 1936–1939 Arab revolt. The yeshiva's current campus is adjacent to the newly acquired property. The acquisition is likely to draw attention given the political sensitivity of Jewish presence in the Muslim Quarter, which is densely populated by Palestinian residents. The details of the transaction, including the purchase price and the seller, have not been disclosed.
