What an honor! 🇮🇱

Today, IDF Chief of the General Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir visited the Netzah Yehuda / Nahal Haredi Yeshivat Hesder in Gan Yavne. He was joined by our CEO Yossi Levi and Rabbi Carmi Gross, head of the Derech Chaim yeshivot.

Standing in our beit midrash, he made our students a promise: they will enter the IDF as Haredim, and they will leave as Haredim.

He called each of them a modern-day Nachshon ben Aminadav, the first to step forward and open the way for others. 📖

Yossi presented the Chief of Staff with a gift of appreciation on behalf of the entire Netzah Yehuda / Nahal Haredi family.

For these Bnei Torah, today was a moment they’ll never forget. 💪

A full day of learning for our chayalim this week 📖

Our soldiers attended a Yom Yeshiva for Project Yoav at ORT Singalovsky in Tel Aviv.

Rabbi Dov Lipschitz opened the day with a shiur. Then Rabbi Yosef Minzberg took on a subject you might not expect: the stock market and Halacha. He went from how savings plans work to what the Torah says about investing and honest dealing 🇮🇱

This is how you finish training. 💪🇮🇱

For three months, alongside the demands of basic training, the March 2026 cohort of Netzah Yehuda studied Hilchot Shabbat with avreichim who came to the base every day.

They learned, reviewed, and tested themselves every two weeks.

Now, as basic training comes to a close, the top students went head to head in a final Shabbat halacha quiz to see who knows it best.

Soldiers in the field, Bnei Torah in the beit midrash. Kol hakavod, chayalim.

Betzalel Tzvi Kovetz, Hy"d, asked to serve in combat. He went on to lead soldiers in northern Gaza as a commander in Netzah Yehuda, and he fell the day before he was due to start officers’ course.

This year, his legacy became a yeshiva.

Yeshivat Ateret Tzvi is a new Haredi hesder program built around everything Betzalel stood for. Students learn Torah at a high level, train for combat, and graduate with a degree in physical education and a certified gym instructor license. Command and leadership training is part of the program too.

It’s the first program of its kind, where a young man doesn’t have to choose between the beit midrash, the battlefield, and a real path to parnassah. 📖🇮🇱

Most people know the Netzah Yehuda Battalion. Far fewer know what stands behind every soldier in it.

Since 1999, Nahal Haredi has built a full circle of support for Haredi young men who choose to serve, from the first question about their future to the years after discharge.

Seven programs. One path. 🇮🇱

Over the coming weeks, we'll take you inside each one: the people, the places, and the stories you don't usually hear.
