Yeshivat HaRaayon HaYehudi (English: Yeshiva of the Jewish Idea) was established in 1987 by then-member of Knesset Rabbi Meir Kahane, with much funding from American supporters, at a temporary campus in Jerusalem`s Mekor Baruch neighborhood. In the summer of 1989 the yeshiva moved to its permanent location at 11 Shmarya Street in the Shmuel HaNavi neighborhood of Jerusalem, Israel. His stated goal was to produce Jewish leaders capable of acting and reacting Jewishly to the problems and challenges facing the State of Israel and the Jewish people.
