Yeshivat Har Hamor (Hebrew: ישיבת הר המור); is a Religious Zionist yeshiva in Har Homa, Jerusalem, founded in 1997 as an offshoot of Yeshivat Mercaz HaRav. The president of the yeshiva is Rabbi Zvi Thau, and the Rosh yeshiva - head of the yeshiva - is Rabbi Amiel Sternberg. There are around 850 students.[when?] Many of the students are married ("avrechim"), and the average student age is higher than at most Religious Zionist yeshivas.
The name means "mountain of myrrh", based on Song of Songs 4:6, a phrase which in the Jewish tradition refers to the Temple Mount. The word "Hamor" is also an acronym for "Hemshech [= continuation of] Mercaz HaRav".
