Extracts:
(IsraelNN.com) Two new Hesder yeshivas have been added to the growing list of
such institutions, which combine intensive Torah studies with military service.
The most recent additions were authorized by Defense Minister Ehud Barak this
week and approved by I.D.F. Personnel Director Maj.-Gen. Elazar Stern.
One of the new Hesder yeshivas, B'nei David, the pre-military academy in the
town of Eli, is well-known for its graduates' success in the I.D.F.'s most
prestigious units and for their sacrifices during the 2006 Second Lebanon War.
The second fresh addition to the Hesder roster is in Shima'a, south of Hevron.
The teachers and students there were evicted from their homes in the Samaria
community of Homesh during the 2005 Disengagement.
There are currently around sixty Hesder yeshivot, spread equally between cities,
development towns and smaller communities.
A Hesder yeshiva student-soldier generally serves for a period of 16 months to
two years in uniform, interspersed with up to four years of full-time seminary
studies. Most Hesder yeshiva students serve in combat units of the I.D.F.
