Machon Yaakov is a baal teshuva yeshiva for men located in Har Nof, Jerusalem, Israel. Its faculty and student body are all English speaking. It is named for Yaakov Rosenberg, founder of Machon Shlomo, a similar baal teshuva yeshiva.[1] Beryl Gershenfeld is the rosh yeshiva (dean) of both yeshivas[2][3][4]
