Extra Curricular

Chessed

Our weekly chessed program is comprised of a variety of placements including: working with large families, children with special needs and tutoring elementary school students. In addition once a month students have the opportunity to do chessed in institutions and orginisations such as respite centres, soup kitchens and Tzedakah food packaging. Over the course of the chessed program students utilize their past experience and expertise while developing new interpersonal skills in situations that prove to be mutually beneficial. Additionally, students devote their talents toward organizing specific tzedakah and chessed projects throughout the year.

Tiyulim

As known, The only way one can truly gain an appreciation of and love for Eretz Yisrael is by taking the time to get to know it. In addition to the classroom time spent in our required Yediat Ha’aretz course, we go on a wide variety of tiyulim throughout the academic year. Aside from our monthly trips taken to places of interest – both historical and contemporary– we run several overnight tiyulim spanning the breadth of the Land. From the Golan to Eilat and in between, these trips, together with the professional tour guides who lead them, become highlights of the year, and help solidify the group’s unique experience of Eretz Yisrael.

Trip to Russia

In memory of our dear friend Chanie Kolodny ò"ä, our seminary decided to participate in the Achos Hatmimim program for a duration of six weeks.

Every week each girl has to accumulate a minimum of 350 points through a certain amount of learning, as well as growing in Chassidishkeit and tznius, in order to be placed in a raffle to win a trip to Russia/Ukraine on ë"ã èáú to visit the kevarim of tzaddikim, including the Baal Shem Tov, the Maggid of Mezritch and the Alter Rebbe.

To help fund the trip, girls could also be involved in fundraising; the more money raised, the more tickets could be purchased to be selected out of the raffle.

So far the Achos Hatmimim program has fared well, every girl participating wholeheartedly and with a lot of fervour and effort being put into every piece of learning. There is a tremendous amount of excitement and we hope that through all the learning and spiritual uplifting we will bring Moshiach now!
