The Beit Yosef Yeshiva was established in Givat Rokeach Bnei Brak, in 1933 by Rabbi Mattityahu Tshetigal, who brought a group of young men from the Navahrudak yeshivot abroad to Eretz Israel. He appointed Rabbi Ya'akov Yisrael Kaneivsky, The Steipler, to head the yeshiva. The Chazon Ish settled near the yeshiva and at times, he too would give discourses in the Beit Yosef Yeshiva.
This notebook reveals the initiatives of the energetic emissary [Rabbi Alter Tzuker] to give the privilege of supporting Torah learners to all Jews who settled in Eretz Israel which is characteristic of the Navahrudak Yeshiva movement which taught courage and full devotion in carrying out G-d's will. Its students did not fear any human being but learned G-d's Torah with complete devotion.
