THE SECRET TO YOUR SUCCESS

Keshet Yehuda Pre-IDF Yeshiva is an Israeli Pre-IDF Academy popularly known as the "Mechina".


We keep the ratio of English speakers to Hebrew speakers low, so you will learn and improve your Hebrew!


Also, by having a smaller group, you will get the attention you need to succeed in the program.


Plus, by living with Israelis, you will become more mature and motivated to do your best.


Our main secret is no secret at all... Torah is the key to success in life!

Avoid the Mistake of Thinking - I need to be a "Rambo" to get into a great unit.

It's not about how great of a shape you are in, or how tough you think you are. It's all about how mentally fit you are.

With serious Torah learning combined with physical training, you will no doubt be at the top of your game,

This is why our guys do so well in the IDF.

Here's what some top leaders in Israel have to say about the Keshet boys:

"It is all because of Keshet, and I’ve never been happier...."

"Keshet was the start of my new life. It’s a place you can come to and start the next chapter of your life and be who you want to be. Everything we do here is amazing and you learn how to become an adult. If you were to tell me where I would be today, I would probably laugh at you. It is all because of Keshet and I’ve never been happier.
