Where else in Israel can you find a yeshiva learning program in the calm and beautiful environment of the Negev desert, recognized by top universities in Israel and the U.S.? The answer is the Mechinat Ruach HaNegev, which in the words of CEO Eitan Zivan, “strives to cultivate a new generation of strong and inspired religious Zionists.” The integrative program at Ruach HaNegev is unique as it incorporates Beit Midrash and service learning, encouraging students to explore, clarify and strengthen their spiritual and personal self regardless of their religious educational background.
