Two branches of Novardok were founded in Jerusalem; one under the leadership of Rabbi Ben Zion Bruk and the other under the direction of Rabbis Shmuel and Eitan Jofen. Additional branches were started in New York City by various of Rabbi Avrom Jofen's children and grandchildren. For instance, Rabbi Yechiel Perr of Far Rockaway, New York started Yeshivas Derech Ayson, a.k.a. Yeshiva of Far Rockaway, Rabbi Moshe Faskowitz of Queens, New York started Yeshiva Madregas Ha'Adam, and Rabbis Mordechai Jofen and Yisroel Zvi (Heshy) Nekritz started Yeshivas Beis Yosef of Brooklyn along with Rabbi Yaakov Drilman, a lifelong friend, and a talmid of Rav Yitzchak Hutner.
