POST-SHALHEVET and MORESHET PROGRAMS

Summer Programs for Seminary Graduates

It is our pleasure to inform you that Neve Yerushalayim is once again offering two exciting and challenging programs: The Post-Shalhevet Program and the Moreshet seminar. Both programs will take place on the Neve campus in Har Nof, Jerusalem from July 8 – August 6, 2003, inclusive.

As in previous years, our eighth annual Post-Shalhevet Program for seminary graduates will draw upon Yerushalayim’s finest teachers to produce a varied, high-quality and intensive learning schedule. Included in our faculty will be: Rabbi Dovid Refson (Dean), Rabbi Dovid Kass (Director, Post-Shalhevet and Moreshet), Rabbi Dovid Abramov, Rabbi Nosson Geisler, Rabbi Yonasson Taub, Rabbi Yehoshua Hartman, Rabbi Leib Kelemen, Rabbi Menachem Nissel, Mrs. Rina Tarshish, and Mrs. Tziporah Heller. We will have our normal array of guest speakers plus some surprise participants yet to be confirmed.

The aim of the Post-Shalhevet program is to challenge Bais Yaakov Seminary graduates simultaneously in the realms of textual learning, hashkafa and mussar . We seek to offer the student who has returned to America with her seminary idealism the opportunity to touch base again with the best Eretz Yisroel has to offer and the chance to appreciate it again in a more realistic light.

Inspired by the success of our year-long Moreshet program which has been in existence for six years, and by our renowned one-week Winter Seminar for teachers, Neve inaugarated a four-week summer program that focuses on chinuch and kiruv. Post-Shalhevet graduates, full-time mechanchot and kiruv workers are the targeted population for this program. This summer, the Moreshet Program will be more stimulating and informative than ever before.

The purpose of Moreshet is to inform and motivate young women to take initiatives to fight the spiritual holocaust affecting so many of our brothers and sisters in Klal Yisroel .

The Moreshet summer program will draw from the regular Moreshet faculty: Rabbi Dovid Refson, Rabbi Dovid Kass, Rabbi Avrohom Edelstein (director of Heritage House), Rabbi Zecharya Greenwald, Rabbi Leib Kelemen, Dr. Judith Mishell, and of course, Mrs. Tziporah Heller.

Students in both programs will share two textual classes: one with Rabbi Meir Treibitz and the second, with Rabbi Dovid Kass, Director of the Programs. Mrs. Zahava Kass, will also teach her Inyanei D’Yoma class in both programs, as well as act as Em HaBayis .

A single one day tiyul to the north of Israel (including Amukah) is included in both programs.

The structure of the programs is as follows: Sunday 9:30 a.m.-12:45 p.m.; Monday-Thursday, 8:30 a.m.-12:45 p.m.; Sunday-Thursday, (excluding Monday) 3:00 p.m.-5:45 p.m.

We are only too well aware of the debilitating effects of living and studying in Chutz LaAretz and the manifold pressures you live under; such as shidduchim, a need to earn money in the summer, take summer school courses in college, etc. However, based on our past experience, we can tell you that those who made the effort and the sacrifice to come, learned a great deal and gained real inspiration and chizuk from the program, which stands them in good stead for the entire year.

B’virkas Shalom V’Kol Tuv.
