LeShem's nationwide network of twenty-seven Haredi yeshiva high schools blends Torah values, academic excellence, and advanced STEM — and the outcomes for graduates speak for themselves.
LeShem Educational Enterprises is Israel's leading nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing a nationwide network of twenty-seven Haredi yeshiva high schools through an innovative educational model that integrates Torah values, academic excellence, and advanced STEM education.
The impact of this model is clearly reflected in the achievements and life trajectories of LeShem's graduates. In recent years, particularly in the wake of the October 7 attacks and the ongoing national challenges facing Israel, approximately 50% of LeShem's graduates have enlisted in Haredi hesder programs or specialized military service frameworks. Graduates also demonstrate average monthly salaries that are nearly 90% higher than those of the broader Haredi population.
Educational and professional outcomes are equally significant: 28% of graduates hold academic degrees, compared to 11% within the general Haredi sector, while an additional 14% have earned professional certifications. LeShem graduates are successfully integrating into high-quality employment sectors including education, management, high-tech, medicine, therapeutic professions, and law.
"A strong foundation in Torah, combined with advanced education and practical skills, creates meaningful pathways — toward growth, stability, leadership, and contribution to Israeli society."
These outcomes demonstrate how a strong foundation in Torah learning, combined with advanced education and practical skills, can create meaningful pathways toward personal growth, economic stability, leadership, and significant contribution to Israeli society.
