Young women of today are exposed to a myriad of external and internal challenges. Michlelet Esther provides its students with the information and skills to meet these challenges.

Michlelet Esther opened in September 1995 as a division of Neve Yerushalayim College. For almost 40 years Neve has specialized in Jewish education for women. It currently conducts more than a dozen distinctive programs to meet the needs of its large, diversified student population. Michlelet Esther is housed in the beautiful Neve Yerushalayim campus in Har Nof, Jerusalem.

The key to the Michlelet Esther experience is its in-depth philosophy-based curriculum that provides students with the information and inspiration to lead a lifestyle based on Torah values. Through clear, honest and open classes that encourage questions and lively debate they learn the rationale and reasons for committing to the Jewish faith. Individual tutorials, which provide a framework for developing learning skills and attitudes, are an important feature of the program.
