Shuvu Bonim

Shuvu Banim (also Yeshivat Breslov—Nechamat Tzion) is a yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem[1] with 1,500 students.[2] It was founded in 1978 in Bnei Brak by Rabbi Eliezer Berland, a convicted sex offender[3][4] and fraudster[5][3] who was still the rosh yeshiva (dean) as of 2010.[6]

It is a Breslov yeshiva based on the teachings of Nachman of Breslov. About 30 percent of the student body is affiliated with the Haredi or national–religious communities.[2] In 1980, an additional branch was opened in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. In 1982 the two branches merged into a single institution with the Bnei Brak yeshiva moving to Jerusalem.

It runs ten kollels, three yeshivot for young men, a Talmud Torah, an elementary school for girls, a range of preschools and kindergartens, youth groups, and evening lectures for women.[7]
