This is a list of yeshivas, midrashas, and Hebrew schools in Israel and the West Bank.
In Orthodox Judaism a yeshiva ( Hebrew: ישיבה) is an educational institution where men can study the Torah, the Talmud, and develop their character. A yeshiva usually is led by a rabbi called a rosh yeshiva (head of the yeshiva). A midrasha ( Hebrew: מדרשה) or seminary is an equivalent educational institution for Jewish women. In Conservative Judaism and Reform Judaism, men and women study together at yeshivas.
