Rabbi Aryeh Finkel, a grandson of Mir rosh yesiva Rabbi Eliezer Yehuda Finkel, who had been giving a shiur in Mir Yerushalayim until then, was appointed rosh yeshiva. Rabbi Nosson Tzvi remained involved to the yeshiva over the years, sometimes coming for Shabbos, among other things.
After Rabbi Aryeh Finkel's passing in 2016, his son Rabbi Binyamin Finkel succeeded him as rosh yeshiva. Rabbi Noam Alon, son-in-law of Rabbi Nosson Tzvi, also serves as a rosh yeshiva.
