Lakewood East, officially Beth Medrash Govoha of America in Eretz Yisroel (בית מדרש גבוה דאמריקא בארץ ישראל), is a yeshivainEast Jerusalem, headed by Rabbi Yaakov Eliezer Schwartzman,[1] son of Rabbi Dov Schwartzman and the eldest grandson of Rabbi Aharon Kotler,[2] founder of the Lakewood Yeshiva. It is officially a branch of the American yeshiva.[citation needed]

History[edit]

The Jerusalem branch first opened in the Kiryat Itri neighborhood of West Jerusalem. In 2004, it moved to its present location in the Israeli settlementofRamot, in East Jerusalem.[3] It is composed of a senior beit medrash for post-graduate-level yeshiva students, along with a kollel.

In early 2015, the "Lakewood East" absorbed 28 Israeli students and gave them their own section of the yeshiva. The Israeli section has since grown and by June 2015 there were 44 students.[citation needed]

Rabbi Shlomo Wolbe, father-in-law of Rabbi Schwartzman,[4] was the mashgiach ruchani of Lakewood East until his death in April 2005.[5]
