Torat Emet in the city of Hebron was founded in 1911 by the Admor of Rashab, when a group of yeshiva students in Lubavitch, led by Rabbi Shlomo Zalman Havlin, sent a yeshiva in the spirit of Yeshivat Tomchei Temimim.

The first students arrived in the Holy Land on the 24th of Cheshvan in 1912, and Hebron itself arrived four days later, on the 28th of Cheshvan.

In a short sentence, which appears after twelve pages in which detailed instructions are given to the mashpia and the students who immigrate to Hebron, the Rebbe says: "The yeshiva is called Torat Emet, and this is the name of the Yeshiva in Jerusalem until this day."

The new yeshiva took place at the new yeshiva in a two-story building (where a meeting was held previously called "Magen Avot Hebron" which was established by Chabad Chassidim in Hebron), while the sleeping place was set to be in the Chabad estate in Beit Romano, The studies for Beit Romano also took place.

The group of Tamimim included seven: Rabbi Alter Simchovitz, Rabbi Yechezkel Feigin, Rabbi Hillel Protkin, Rabbi Tzvi Hirsch Katsav, Rabbi Israel Zalman Asanas, Rabbi Avraham Eliyahu Asharov, Rabbi Menachem (Nasha) Karasik.

With the opening of the department in Hebron, additional students from the local community joined it, and the yeshiva in Hebron became a major Torah institution and a center for Hasidism in general, and for the Chabad school in particular.

The Admor of Rashab and the Admor of the R 'YZ were responsible for funding the yeshiva. The donations they received for the yeshiva, and the money they obtained with great effort, were transferred through Rabbi Shlomo Yehuda Leib Eliazarov and others for the yeshiva. There are those who believe that Rabbi Eliazarov and the people of Hebron ran the physical nature of the yeshiva, while Rabbi Havlin was the spiritual director of the yeshiva.

The studies lasted for three years, until the end of 1914, when World War I. The Turks, who ruled the Holy Land, joined the war with Germany, and the students and the influential Russian citizens became citizens of an enemy country and were ordered to leave the country. He stayed at the time abroad and returned to Israel a few years later and founded Yeshivat Toras Emet in Jerusalem.
