Shuvu Banim (also Yeshivat Breslov—Nechamat Tzion) is a yeshiva in the Old City of Jerusalem [1] with 1,500 students. [2] It was founded in 1978 in Bnei Brak by Rabbi Eliezer Berland, a convicted sex offender [3] [4] and fraudster [5] [3] who is still the rosh yeshiva. [6] The yeshiva was declared a cult by The Israeli Center for Cult Victims in 2018.
It is a Breslov yeshiva based on the teachings of Nachman of Breslov. About 30 percent of the student body is affiliated with the Haredi or national–religious communities. [2] In 1980, an additional branch was opened in the Muslim Quarter of the Old City of Jerusalem. In 1982 the two branches merged into a single institution with the Bnei Brak yeshiva moving to Jerusalem.
It runs ten kollels, three yeshivot for young men, a Talmud Torah, an elementary school for girls, a range of preschools and kindergartens, youth groups, and evening lectures for women. [7]
