Finkel staged one of the most dramatic moves in the history of yeshivos. In the 1920s he decided to create a branch of his yeshiva in the [[Land of Israel]], together with the dean Rabbi [[Moshe Mordechai Epstein]], setting it up in [[Hebron]] and sending waves of hand-picked students there, culminating with his own permanent ''aliyah'', "going up", to the Holy Land two years before his passing.
 
In the region of [[Palestine (region)|Palestine]] he founded his own institution in the town of Hebron called ''Knesses Yisroel'' - "Gathering of Israel", which moved to [[Jerusalem]] following the massacre of Jews during the [[1929 Palestine riots]] in which many of the yeshiva students were murdered. This yeshiva today, [[Yeshivas Chevron]] in Jerusalem, has about a thousand students and is one of the most prestigious Lithuanian yeshivos in Israel.
