Hesder

Beit Midrash of the Kerem B'Yavneh hesder yeshiva

Hesder (Hebrew: הסדר "arrangement"; also Yeshivat Hesder ישיבת הסדר‎) is an Israeli yeshiva program which combines advanced Talmudic studies with military service in the Israel Defense Forces, usually within a Religious Zionist framework. The program allows Orthodox Jewish men to serve in the Israeli military while still engaging in Torah study.
