Me’ohr Bais Yaakov Teachers Seminary offers an
exciting one-year study program in Israel for recent graduates of
Bais Yaakov-type schools. Established in 1999, the school has become
one of the most sought after seminaries in Israel. Me’ohr has its
own campus in the lovely, well-established religious neighborhood of
Bayit Vegan in Jerusalem.
The school offers a challenging, classic religious
seminary education on a high level. The learning environment is
serious, yet without the tension of constant testing. Students are
expected to achieve and fulfill their assignments out of a sense of
responsibility and love for Torah learning.
In addition to limudei kodesh, students take
courses in education that include methodology and psychology, as
well as extensive classes on child development and chinuch
habonim (child education). These studies prepare them for
teaching in Jewish schools in the Diaspora.
One of the unique aspects of the school is its
emphasis on helping the students actualize their own potential and
to acquire the interpersonal life skills to help them successfully
fill the multiple roles of daughter, wife, mother, teacher, and
friend. As the students acquire self-confidence and self-esteem,
they come to value and respect each other in greater measure.
The experienced teaching staff of Me’ohr Bais
Yaakov is devoted and caring. Rabbi Zecharya Greenwald, the director
of Me’ohr Bais Yaakov, personally provides each student with
extensive guidance and attention. The teachers develop a warm and
open relationship with their students.
