Yeshivat Aderet Eliyahu

Yeshivat Aderet Eliyahu is a religious educational institution in Jerusalem's Old City focused on studying Jewish texts and Torah tradition. The complex includes a main study hall, secondary school facilities, and an elementary school section called Zilberman's Cheder.

The institution was founded in 1982 by Yitzchak Shlomo Zilberman and follows the educational principles of the Vilna Gaon. This foundation shaped the teaching approach that continues to define the place today.

The institution preserves traditional teaching methods uncommon in modern yeshivas, with students wearing dyed ritual fringes and phylacteries throughout their studies. These practices shape daily life here and show how ancient customs remain living traditions in this community.

The institution is located in the Old City and welcomes visitors interested in observing daily study activities. Guests should wear modest clothing and be respectful during prayer times when the community is engaged in worship.

The teaching approach simplifies Talmud and Bible study by prioritizing direct text examination and avoiding extensive commentary analysis. This method sets it apart from the standard approach at other yeshivas.
