Yeshivat Chaarei Rahamim was founded around 30 years ago by Rabbi Rahamim Naouri Zatsal of blessed memory, who was Av Beit Din of the Rabbinical Court in Paris and a Rabbi in Algeria. Rabbi Naouri was extremely active in the educational field. So, his children and students decided to found a yeshiva that would continue his activities.

The Yeshiva takes the current form of a high school yeshiva and it was founded around 10 years ago by Rabbi Naouri's son, the Grand Rabbi and Head of the Yeshiva, Yehuda Naouri. This he did with the aim of providing the opportunity to combine Judaic and secular studies to a broad spectrum of students affiliated with the Haredi and religious populace.

The Yeshiva is situated in Sanhedria, in Jerusalem. For students residing outside the city there is the possibility of in-house boarding. The majority of students are from Jerusalem and its environs.

Students of the Yeshiva range from grades 9 through 12 and they learn in an intimate family setting. Since a typical class comprises around 20 students, it is possible to provide the individualized attention each requires for achieving his personal excellence.
