The Bnos Chava Seminary is a one-year teachers
training program for recent Bais Yaakov high school graduates who
enter the school with advanced standing in Torah studies. The school
is located on the beautiful campus of Neve Yerushalayim in Har Nof,
Jerusalem.
Founded in 1988, Bnos Chava quickly gained a
reputation as one of the leading teachers seminaries in Israel. The
school is known for its outstanding faculty and for its emphasis
upon a strong student/teacher relationship.
Bnos Chava’s challenging curriculum places great
emphasis on in-depth understanding and appreciation of Jewish
learning and spiritual values. A high standard of excellence is
maintained throughout the school year.
In addition to taking high-level courses in
limudei kodesh, students participate in seminars in pedagogy
and methodology conducted by prominent figures in the field of
Jewish education. They also observe experienced teachers at work and
engage in supervised student teaching in actual classroom settings.
As a result, the teachers-in-training are well prepared for a
teaching career. Successful graduates of Bnos Chava receive a
diploma qualifying them to teach in Jewish schools throughout the
Diaspora.
Supplementing the academic studies at Bnos Chava is
an extensive program of touring throughout the country. Students
also participate in writing and producing a major musical show that
is performed for charitable purposes.
Rabbi Dovid Abramov and Rabbi Nosson Geisler are
co-principals of Bnos Chava; and Rabbi Yoel Kramer, the noted
American Jewish educator, serves as educational consultant.
