​In the heart of Yaffo operates the Integration Pre-Military Academy "Laredet Lema'ala" (Descending to Ascend) – a groundbreaking educational initiative established three years ago with the aspiration to create profound transformation in Israeli discourse and reconnect society to its roots. We believe with all our hearts that Jewish heritage is not a collection of abstract ideas or Torah confined to the study hall walls, but practical life wisdom meant to illuminate daily reality and guide us through life's complex challenges.
Today, approximately seventy young men study at the academy in their first and second years, and thank God, demand grows annually. Unlike conventional approaches, the Integration Pre-Military Academy intentionally and primarily targets quality young men from Israel's social and geographic periphery. We believe that specifically those who have faced significant life challenges have developed exceptional inner strength and tremendous resilience. When these powers receive proper direction and spiritual inspiration, they become a powerful engine capable of leading a faith-based and practical revolution in Israeli society, cultivating young leadership connected to its roots and committed to its future.
