Chaim Brovender (Hebrew: חיים ברובנדר; born 1941) is an Israeli Modern Orthodox and Religious Zionist rabbi.
Until 1967, he studied in the Kollel of Yeshivas Itri (the Israel Torah Research Institute) under Rabbi Mordechai Elefant.
[1] In 1967, on the advice of Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson, Brovender founded Hartman College in Romema, Jerusalem[2] (under the aegis of the Israel Torah Research Institute).
That same year, Brovender established Midreshet Lindenbaum, originally named Michlelet Bruria, as the women's component of Yeshivat Hamivtar.
[3] Brovender successfully ran Yeshivat HaMivtar alone until 1985, when he merged it with the network of educational institutions founded by Rabbi Shlomo Riskin called Ohr Torah Stone.
