AFYBA’S history began in 1939, when Rabbi Moshe Zvi Neria, a student of Rav Avraham Yitzchok HaCohen Kook and future Israel Prize winner, went to Kfar Haroeh to create a new kind of yeshiva high school. Over the next 80 years, AFYBA blossomed into a network of 70 institutions—Yeshivot, Ulpanot, Hesder and Pre-Military Academies—that span the entire length and width of Israel.
