Description
Most residents have left Sderot, an Israeli town near Gaza, since war erupted with Hamas attacks on October 7, but a reopened Jewish seminary hopes to bring life there back on course. The study hall at the Sderot yeshiva -- less than five kilometres (three miles) away from the besieged Gaza Strip -- is bustling with students. "We want to be guardians of the city and to be people who provide protection, but mostly we study Torah because it is the foundation of this nation," says rabbi David Fendel, director of the institution.
