Yeshivat Sha'alvim has had some affinity for the [[Torah im Derekh Eretz]] philosophy of German Jewry. Both founding [[rosh yeshiva]] Rabbi Schlesinger and former [[rosh yeshiva]] Rabbi Yaakovson studied in the [[Kol Torah]] yeshiva founded by Rabbi Dr. Yechiel Michel Schlesinger, Rabbi Schlesinger's uncle (headed subsequently, for many years, by Rabbi [[Shlomo Zalman Auerbach]], of whom they were both students). Both Rabbi Schlesinger and Rabbi Yaakovson are scions of prominent German-Jewish families. Rabbi Schlesinger is the son of Dr. Falk Schlesinger, former director of [[Sha'arey Tzedek Medical Center]] in Jerusalem. |

Other ties to German Jewry, include the phenomenon that many of the students, particularly in the high school, are associated with the German-Jewish founded youth movement [[Ezra]] (formerly affiliated with Poalei Agudat Israel). In addition, in 2006 Yeshivat Sha'alvim assumed the control of the [[Isaac Breuer]] Institute (also formerly affiliated with Poalei Agudat Israel, founded in memory of the movement's German-Jewish ideologue of that name), which issues the scholarly quarterly HaMa'ayan. |

Yeshivat Sha'alvim is a hesder yeshiva, a kollel and a yeshiva high school for boys, located in Kibbutz Sha'alvim .
History
Yeshivat Sha'alvim was founded in 1961 by Meir Schlesinger, the rabbi of Kibbutz Sha'alvim. The yeshiva, like the kibbutz, was originally affiliated with Poalei Agudat Yisrael ("Agudat Israel Workers"). Schlesinger was the rosh yeshiva for over 30 years.
The yeshiva's campus includes a kollel (for rabbanut and dayanut), a teachers college, a yeshiva high-school for boys, an ulpana high school for girls, an elementary school and a Talmud Torah. In the early 1990s a National Religious yishuv named Nof Ayalon was built around the Sha'alvim educational campus. Over 400 families live in the yishuv including many graduates of the yeshiva.
The yeshiva also has a post-high-school seminary for girls from the United States and other countries, in Jerusalem.
The yeshiva is headed by Michael Yammer, son of Max Jammer; the kollel is headed by Gidon Binyamin, rabbi of Nof Ayalon.

Approximately 80 young women attend the program annually and another 15 return for a second year of study.
