Yeshaya Goldman - ‭+1 (551) 444-2664‬ (⚠️ emergency only)

It is mandatory that every student joins a local health plan. Even if a student has international insurance they will need to purchase health insurance in Israel. It will ensure that your son is cared for in the most effective, cost-efficient, and timely manner. No student may arrive without local insurance.

Our suggested health insurance provider is MSG.

MSG is the go-to for helping yeshiva guys in Israel. All representatives speak fluent English.

If you have MSG, you can contact them at their 24/7 hotline at 072-222-4444 or by email at office@msgil.com

If you need to make an appointment for whatever reason, contact MSG and they’ll help you out with that. If you need to go to the emergency room, there’s a Terem (which is an Israeli emergency room) located in Kiryat Sefer above Yesh Supermarket.

In case of an emergency, call Emergency Medical Services #101 or call the MSG hotline.

MSG’s office hours are 10:00am - 6:00pm. To speak to a customer service representative - press 1 then 2 for yeshivas.

💡 Here’s some important numbers to keep handy:

👮‍♂️ Police - 100

🚑 Hatzalah - 1221

🏥 Hospital - 101

🚒 Fire department - 102

We recommend buying all Sefarim, Hebrew and English, here in Israel. Preferably in Yerushalayim (more English variety) or in Kiryat Sefer (less English variety) near the Yeshiva.
