Sfas Emes Yeshiva is an Orthodox Jewish yeshiva in Jerusalem, Israel, serving the Gerrer Hasidic community. Founded in 1925 in the Mekor Baruch neighborhood of Jerusalem, two blocks north of the Mahane Yehuda Market, it was one of the few Hasidic yeshivas in Israel in the early twentieth century.〔Kaploun, Uri (transl.) (1987). ''Rebbes of Ger: Sfas Emes and Imrei Emes''. New York: Mesorah Publications, Ltd. ISBN 0-89906-484-1, pp. 252-253.〕 ==History== The yeshiva was founded by the Hasidim of Grand Rabbi Avraham Mordechai Alter (''Imrei Emes''), the third Gerrer Rebbe, and was named after the Rebbe's father, Rabbi Yehuda Aryeh Leib Alter, (''Sfas Emes''). With the Rebbe's approval, the head staff included Rabbi Menachem Mendel Kasher, Rabbi Yaakov Henich Sankevitz, and Rabbi Nechemiah Alter (the Rebbe's brother).〔 The yeshiva opened with 25 students, who were soon joined by other students from Poland. All the Admorim in Israel sent their sons to it, as well.〔 The yeshiva grew year by year. In 1926, the Rebbe circulated a letter to his Hasidim on the day of his father's yahrzeit, expressing his support of the yeshiva: In the holy city of Jerusalem a junior yeshiva has now been founded, in memory of my saintly father. It fills a need for the young students who live there, since the existing yeshivos cannot cater to all the applicants. Besides, the program of study followed by them is not in harmony with the spirit of learning prevalent in Poland.〔 The Rebbe visited the yeshiva for the first time on his third visit to Israel in 1927.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sfas Emes Yeshiva」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
