(Redirected from Slabodka)
'Slabodka yeshiva', also known as 'Knesses Yisroel', and later as 'Hebron Yeshiva' or ''Yeshivas Hevron'', was known colloquially as the "mother of yeshivas" and was devoted to high level study of the Talmud. The yeshiva was located in the Lithuanian town of Slabodka, adjacent to Kovno (Kaunas), now VilijampolÄ—, a suburb of Kaunas. It functioned from the late 19th century until World War II.
It was headed by Rabbi Nosson Tzvi Finkel, also known as "Der Alter of Slabodka", (''The Elder of Slabodka''). Its rosh yeshiva was Rabbi Moshe Mordechai Epstein.
A 1924 edict requiring enlistment in the military or supplementary secular studies in the yeshiva led a large number of its students to relocate to Hebron under Rabbi Finkel's leadership, and the yeshiva was then headed by Rabbi Yitzchok Isaac Sher. Hebron was chosen over Jerusalem to avoid the influence of the conservative old yishuv. The Slabodka yeshiva ceased operation during the Holocaust.
24 students were murdered in the 1929 Hebron massacre, and the yeshiva was reestablished in the Geula neighbourhood of Jerusalem. Despite a delay after the death of Rabbi Moshe Hebroni, the last of the previous generation, the yeshiva moved into a new and larger campus in the south-central Giv'at Mordechai neighbourhood in 1975.
