YBS Campus

LOCATION

The Yeshiva Bnei Simcha utilizes the campus of the American style Yeshiva Mevaseret Zion. There is 24 hour security guard on the premises. Our students are integrated with the other American students for davening, meals, tiyulim, afternoon Torah classes, chesed program, special activities, and Shabbatonim. Our staff works closely with the Yeshiva Mevaseret Zion Rebbaim and administration.

Mevaseret Zion is a quiet, rustic, safe and secure community with all the amenities of a modern town. Located away from the hustle and bustle of city life, it provides an ideal environment conducive to learning and personal growth. At the same time, a short 15-minute bus ride takes students to Jerusalem. Buses from Mevaseret Zion to Jerusalem are frequent (every 15-20 minutes).
