Here at Yeud, we believe in education through independent growth. Our students are not always spoon fed – but rather, are expected to make a real effort to grow as a result of hard work and commitment. This, we trust, is best achieved by taking on two tasks: learning Torah and extending a helping hand to our brothers and sisters in need, through part time Sherut Leumi service. Our weekly schedule therefore includes spending 3 days learning in the beit midrash, and 2 full mornings volunteering at Sherut Leumi workplaces.
In class we make our students think. We challenge them to understand why they do the things they do, and why they believe in what they believe in. We are committed in creating an environment which will allow our students to grow to be more spiritual, dedicated Jews who are able to carry on their lives with a stronger commitment and a deeper Jewish identity. We expect our students to show self-discipline as they are given some freedom and more space to make decisions. Our students therefore need a certain amount of maturity and consistency in order to succeed here. They also must have patience: instant gratification and "inspiration" is usually short-lived. The results we aim for are harder to achieve, but they last longer, and we deeply believe that this is the best way to spend one's year in Israel. Rather than living within a bubble of English language, or of any familiar mentality – we help these young ladies burst the bubble and prepare themselves for what awaits them in university and further on in life, by showing them the route to become independent learners and by letting them experience leadership within the community. We also help them feel at home in Israel by exposing them to the real Israel – the one outside the classroom walls. They integrate with Israeli girls at school and with the greater Jerusalem society through sherut leumi. ·
