The Yeshiva does not arrange group flights. Parents tend to prefer booking their own flights and finding the best deals. Talmidim usually know who else is coming to Yeshiva and are in touch with each other about traveling together.

Elul 5786 Starting Elul, the Yeshiva will be learning Bava Basra.

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. This year Yeshiva requires that all new talmidim use AIM medical as their insurance provider. As Yeshiva’s sole provider, AIM will be sending a Doctor or PA twice a week to Yeshiva for the talmidim’s convenience for quick check ups and evaluation often alleviating the need to go to their medical center for further examination, as well as helping to discover any medical issues before they become serious. In addition AIM's medical center is located very close to Yeshiva on Kanfei Nesharim st. within a few minute walk, making it the wisest choice for medical coverage. AIM has a few different levels of coverage and offers competitive pricing. AIM is an English-speaking service-oriented private medical program providing American-style medical care. 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). NOTE that they offer an "early bird" registration discount. No Talmid may sleep in Yeshiva without Israeli health insurance.

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.

The beds are regular twin size mattresses - 90 cm. by 190 cm. Blanket Express, is a company that provides blankets and sheets for a reasonable price to lighten your luggage load if you so desire. You can find out more information on their website https://blanketexpressplus.com/.

A external washing machine/dryer rental service offers use of their machines in our dormitory. A company representative will collect the payment from your son. Your son will be able to pay with cash or credit card, directly to the company. For more information email: washyeshiva@gmail.com

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.

Yeshiva Arzei Levanon welcomes parents' visits. Fathers are welcome to come learn with their sons in the Beis Medrash. However, please remember that it can be disruptive to your son's growth if you take him out of Yeshiva. Therefore, if you come to visit, please make sure to limit the amount of time you take your son out and try to arrange to do so during beinHasedarim breaks. Please inform the office in advance if you are planning on visiting.

Yeshiva policy absolutely prohibits personal laptop computers, DVDs, PSPs, I-pods, Ipads, tablets, smartphones, or any other device with internet, or movie-playing capability.
