Chaim Brovender (born January 1, 1941, in Brooklyn, New York, United States) is an American-Israeli Orthodox rabbi and educator renowned for his contributions to modern Orthodox Jewish education in Israel. He earned a bachelor's degree and received rabbinic ordination from Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveitchik in 1963 at Yeshiva University. Influenced by the Religious Zionist movement, he immigrated to Israel in the 1970s. Brovender founded Yeshivat Hamivtar in 1977 in Efrat and co-founded Yeshivat Kerem B'Yavneh in 1978, pioneering institutions that integrate intensive Talmudic study with university-level secular education for English-speaking immigrants and visitors within a Religious Zionist framework. His model challenged traditional yeshiva structures by promoting gender-inclusive education and bridging American and Israeli Jewish communities. Throughout his career, Brovender has been a vocal advocate for Religious Zionism, lectured widely, authored works on Jewish thought, and served in leadership roles within Israeli educational and communal organizations. He continues to reside in Israel and remains active in rabbinic and educational circles.
