Yerushalayim this week named a portion of Yeshiva Street, the location of Chevron Yeshiva, after the late rosh yeshiva, Rav Simcha Mordechai Zissel Brouda ZATZAL.

As the head of the city�s naming committee, Mayor Rabbi Uri Lupoliansky approved the move and took part in the ceremony which took place near the yeshiva�s old building in the Geula neighborhood.

Of late, the committee approved the naming of tens of streets after late Gedolei yisrael, a move that was met by strong objections by non frum opposition city councilmen.

For 75 years (1925-2000), Rav Brouda learned, taught, inspired, and motivated within the yeshiva as it moved from Chevron to Geulah to Givat Mordechai.
