About Us

“Yehoshua is BH extremely happy. He notices himself shteiging and growing far more than he anticipated whilst feeling cared for and looked after. The Hanholas Hayeshiva pay huge attention to detail with the aim of bringing out the most of the boys. We still can’t believe that Yehoshua is now delivering Divrei Torah in public - something we never thought he would do.”

“With Yedidya ready to graduate from Darchei Noam, we simply had no options. Due to his medical and learning needs there was no yeshiva in Europe that would be able to enable him to continue his growth in Torah whilst equipping him with the skills he will need for the rest of his life. Our tefillos have been answered with YDS doing all of this and so much more. Yedidya returns home every day immensely fulfilled and he is growing enormously in both iyun and bekius from his fantastic Rebbeim.”

“Efraim was ready to leave school and wanted nothing more than to go to yeshiva. But no yeshiva existed that could cater for his needs adequately. We set up YDS with the intention of it becoming a world-class yeshiva, yet somehow Rabbi Zimmer and his team have vastly exceeded our expectations. Efraim is so happy and being stretched in every way with the staff always pushing for more.”

“YDS is a unique ישיבה which combines an exceptionally warm and caring atmosphere with a seriousness and dedication to learning. Each בחור is striving towards their personal best and the הנהלה spare no effort to guide and encourage them to excel.
The שמחת החיים in ישיבה is palpable and the way the בחורים look out for each other is a lesson in itself. It is amazing to watch our בחורים use every spare minute for learning. It is a great privilege for me to work in this incredible מוסד.”

“As someone who teaches in the yeshiva every Sunday, I feel privileged to witness its growth up close. This is a place that truly lives and breathes Torah. From the beginning, I sensed the warmth of one large family — among the boys, the staff, and anyone who enters. There is genuine care, belonging, and mutual responsibility. The boys themselves are impressive: curious, thoughtful, and eager to understand deeply. Their learning is marked by precision, analysis, and a sincere love of Torah. Most inspiring is their steady progress. Week by week, ideas become clearer, thinking sharpens, and real scholarship develops. They are growing into true yeshiva students, with strong skills and a deep desire to continue advancing.”

“It's amazing to watch the day to day growth of our talmidim. Whats unique about our bochrim is that they really want to learn.
‍
This, together with a tailor made program that identifies the strengths and weaknesses of each talmid and with the telillos of the parents with a large dose of siyata dishmayo- success is unlimited.”

“It is a true privilege to teach at ישיבת דרכי שלום, a Yeshiva that genuinely cares for each of its talmidim. An extraordinary level of dedication is invested in developing our young men — not only in Torah learning, but also in middos and essential life skills. The warmth and love that flow from the Rebbeim to their talmidim are deeply inspiring, and it is evident that this relationship is sincerely reciprocated with respect, trust, and affection. The talmidim demonstrate a remarkable teshuka to understand the limud and an even stronger desire to be guided and shaped. There is a palpable sense of achdus and simcha that defines the Yeshiva — felt not only by those within the YDS family, but also by visitors who come to lecture, daven, or simply spend time in this special environment. מי כעמך ישראל”
