Machon Shlomo was established in 1982 with a little understudy body and a little staff, in a high rise that remained at the passage to a juvenile Jerusalem area called Har Nof. At that point, the network consisted of twelve recently completed structures roosted on a mountainside, flanked on one or the other side by woods and miles of lacking area. The main street to the primary city was a soil way. It was this unassuming area, a long way from the clamor of the city and the interruptions of the travel industry, that the yeshiva's organizer, Rabbi Yaakov Rosenberg zt"l, hand-picked as the site where roused understudies could fabricate themselves to accomplish enormity.
