It is also called "Aggadat Shmu'el".

Midrash Shmuel Yeshiva
Midrash Shmuel () is a Haredi yeshiva catering to English-speaking students, located in the Sha'arei Hesed neighborhood in Jerusalem. It was founded in 1993 by Rabbi Binyomin Moskovits (who functions as its Rosh HaYeshiva, or dean), and was named after his mentor, Rabbi Shmuel Rozovsky. Educational goals The yeshiva is designed for English-speaking post-high-school students from both inside and outside Israel. Midrash Shmuel also has an introductory program called ''Aliyos Shmuel'' for college graduates and older students who seek to learn at a beginner's level, and a kollel (post-graduate) program which enrolls approximately 150 married students. All classes are held in English. The Yeshiva places immense importance on Torah study with special emphasis on Talmud study in depth. As opposed to more moderate interpretations, the Yeshiva views Talmud study not as a means to an end but an end in it of itself. History Midrash Shmuel is part of the widespread trend since the 197 ...
