5) What do I need to know about Health Insurance?It is mandatory that all Talmidim join a local health insurance plan. Even if a student has international insurance, they will still need to purchase health insurance in Israel. It will ensure that your son is cared for in the most effective and timely manner. Yeshiva recommends the following 2 insurance companies: AIM is an English-speaking service-oriented private medical program providing American-style medical care. Their medical center is located very close to Yeshiva on Kanfei Nesharim St. making medical care very convenient. For more information, and to register please visit AIMs website: www.aim.co.il . You can also email them at: info@aim.co.il or call: 1-800-4-AIM-PLAN (1-800-424-6752). MSGIL is an English-speaking service-oriented provider of medical services. For more information, and to register please visit MSGILs website: www.msgil.com You can also email them at info@msgil.com Submit all forms, payments, and questions directly to MSGIL. Read through both plans carefully to make your decision. No Talmid may sleep in Yeshiva without Israeli health insurance.

6) Why can’t I continue to use my non-Israeli health insurance plan?Because of the language barrier, the complicated bureaucracy that Israeli medical insurance and care involves, and because if חס ושלום your son needs immediate medical care, an uninsured (in Israel) patient will have to pay on the spot in order to be treated. Additionally, some hospitals may not admit a patient or release him without payment upfront. In order to insure the optimal and most seamless care for our student's health we require them to be insured by one of these two Anglo-medical companies, who have a proven track record with providing optimal care to Yeshiva and Seminary students.

9) How should I order my son's seforim? Is there a way to get them through the Yeshiva or is it better for him to bring them from home?We usually suggest the Bochurim buy seforim in Eretz Yisroel so that he purchases the right one and saves on space and weight when coming to Yeshiva. There are several seforim your son can order in advance, and we will provide a link when we get closer to the start of the Zman.
