Answer: What is Yeshivat Har Etzion mean?

Yeshivat Har Etzion (YHE; Hebrew: ישיבת הר עציון‎), commonly known in English as "The Gush" and in Hebrew as "Yeshivat HaGush", is a hesder yeshiva located in Alon Shvut, an Israeli settlement in Gush Etzion in the West Bank, near Jerusalem. With a student body of roughly 480, it is one of the largest hesder yeshivot in Israel and the West Bank.

Most of the students are Israelis in the hesder program, which integrates intensive yeshiva study with at least 15 months of active service in the Israel Defense Forces. Post-high school overseas students are also accepted after undergoing a selective application and interview process. Many return after university to study for the rabbinate in the yeshiva's Semicha Program (Semicha given by the Israeli Rabbanut) and affiliated Herzog College. Over 550 alumni from overseas have made aliyah and a high percentage are involved in Jewish education. Others have gone on to prominent academic careers in science, law, medicine, engineering and mathematics.

Yeshivat Darkaynu, a yeshiva program is housed on the YHE campus.
