Yeshivas Ohr Eliezer
Beit Shemesh
Yeshivas Ohr Eliezer for young bachurim is located in Beit Shemesh. The yeshivah’s talmidim include exceptional bachurim from Beit Shemesh and its environs and many of its alumni move on to Torah positions within the Ateres Shlomo network.
Leading The Way
On Rosh Chodesh Elul in 1997, we started Shiur Aleph of the Yeshiva with 16 Talmidim. The Yeshiva was named “Yeshiva LeTzeiirim Beis Shemesh” by Yeshivas Ateres Shlomo and at the time, it was located in a temporary caravan until the permanent structure was completed.
On Rosh Chodesh Elul 2000, The Yeshiva celebrated its entrance to a permanent structure on Rabbi Meyer Baal HaNess Street in Ramat Beis Shemesh Beis. Hachnasas Seifer Torah and Chanuchas HaBait celebration commemorated the Yeshiva’s name with the name of the honorable HaRav Rabbi Eliezer Letz Z”l.
HaNgid HaChashuv, HaRav Rabbi Meshulam Dovid Letz,donated the Seifer Torah in memory of his father, the honorable HaRav Rabbi Eliezer Letz Z”l. Maran HaGaon HaRav Meshulam Dovid HaLevi Soloveitchik Ztv”l, set the Mezuza at the entrance of the Yeshiva.
On the 24th of Sivan, 2003, the Yeshiva celebrated another Hachnasas Seifer Torah to commemorate the first Yaartzeit of Rabbitzin Shteinman Z”l. The event included many of Gdolei HaDor as well as Maran Rosh HaYeshiva HaGaon HaGadol HaRav Shteinman Ztv”l who always stood by the Yeshiva’s side since its establishment with complete devotion.
In 2005, the Yeshiva faced a new challenge; the building was no longer big enough to fit all of the Talmidim. A new floor was added, and the Beis Midrash doubled its space.
On Rosh Chodesh Elul 2009, with the growth and added construction, Maran HaGaon HaRav Abraham Yeshaya Palas Shlita was elected Rosh Yeshiva. In 2014, Maran HaGaon HaRav Eliezer Levi Shlita was elected Rosh Yeshiva in the Yeshiva Gdola, after years of Avodas kodesh in Yeshiva Ktana Or Eliezer.
