Tzeirei HaShluchim Launches Year-Long Renewal Plan
Following 15 years of education and hundreds of alumni from around the world, Yeshivat Tzeirei HaShluchim has announced that it will be closed for the upcoming school year in order to implement a massive renewal plan, promising to “fundamentally alter the way the yeshiva is organized and run.”
The plan, formulated with the advice, guidance, and counsel of a diverse team of Shluchim and Chassidic educators, will adjust and reshape the yeshiva and its staff in order to better fulfill its founding purpose of high quality, affordable education for young Shluchim.
“Tzeirei HaShluchim was founded for young Shluchim at a time when their were relatively few mestivas in the world,” said Director, Rabbi Chaim Kaplan. “The restructuring is about fulfilling this purpose in a completely new, unique, and even more effective way.”
Yeshivat Tzeirei HaShluchim was founded by Tzfat’s Head Shliach, Rabbi Aryeh Leib Kaplan, a”h. According to the administration, the move was a collective decision prompted by the changes occurring in the structure and quality of worldwide Chabad yeshiva education.
The yeshiva is expected to reopen for the 5775, 2013-4, school year.
The next months will be dedicated to crafting and implementing the renewed approach, organizational structure, and staffing adjustments. The plan calls for moving the yeshiva to a new, more comprehensive and dynamic perspective on delivering Chassidic education to better accomplish the vision beyond its founding.
For the current learning year, the Yeshiva’s Yisrael Aryeh Leib-Colel Chabad campus will be rented to Tzfat’s Yeshivat Chanoch LeNa’ar.

Long overdue. This yeshivah was poorly run fir years. Many bocherim are off the derech today as a result. 3 years ago they threw out over 20 boys (out of 50) for things like iPods etc. That was the day the school should have shut down to self evaluate.
I was there
I ‘learnt’ there. The whole place needs to be closed down. I was there one of the first years and instead of helping tzerei hashluchim who came from far places that found it hard to relate to the different yeshiva enviroment and world, I was HARRASED by the Rosh Yeshiva who I believe has left and crushed instead of being supported. I cannot say if it is happening in other Yeshivas too but the way I was treated, has left me only LESS committed to Chabad and definately not more. I am no longer PROUD to be Chabad although just ‘affiliated’ by default. I definately think they need to think VERY long and hard about even re-opening the Yeshiva again.
