OUR BUILDING

Kesher is housed in a spacious modern building located close to the main entrance to Jerusalem on a quiet dead-end street. It is less than a one-minute walk to the Jerusalem Central Bus Station and the Center One shopping mall. It is in close proximity to a number of Jerusalem neighborhoods.

The building has five floors and was built approximately twenty years ago. It has steam heating and is partially air-conditioned. It stands on its own plot with gardens on four sides.

THE GROUND FLOOR

The building's lower ground floor includes Beis Hamedresh and five classrooms. The Beis Hamedresh is large, airy and very comfortable. It is air-conditioned and has a well-equipped library. It also opens up onto a large spacious courtyard which is a very popular area with the students. The openness plus the greenery produce a wonderful atmosphere to study and discuss.

Also on the lower ground floor is a fully-equipped workout room with state-of-the-art machines. The workout room is open at lunch time and in the evenings and is in constant use.

Next to the workout room is the music room. This is a state-of-the-art studio equipped with the latest instruments where the more musical student can express and develop his talents.

The ground floor houses the administration offices, a conference room, a large airy dining room, a modern kitchen and a storage area.

Approximately 300 meals are served daily. Breakfast is made in-house and lunch and dinner are brought in by caterers, as are the Shabbat meals.
