Midreshet Lev HaTorah is a full-time Torah learning program filling a niche and following in the footsteps of our brother program Lev HaTorah. Our mission is to nurture inspired, confident, well-rounded bnot Torah with the skills to learn independently, while simultaneously developing a deep devotion to Eretz Yisrael, Medinat Yisrael, and the entire Jewish community. For a well-rounded Jewish life, study is not enough. A deep understanding of Judaism requires a global study that begins with Tanach and includes the wisdom of the Jewish philosophers and the halachic decisions of recent rabbinic authorities. As a complement to our intensive, skills-oriented curriculum, students take in-depth high-level classes in Tanach, Jewish Philosophy, Jewish studies, Practical Halacha, Religious Zionism, and Tefila. In each class, teachers expose their students to a wide range of opinions and perspectives – encouraging students to recognize the validity of multiple approaches. The positive, all encompassing atmosphere at Midreshet Lev encourages students to think deeply about their beliefs and intuitions without scorning those that disagree with them. The well-rounded curriculum leads to refined, thoughtful, and open-minded students. We focus our curriculum on the building of strong textual and conceptual skills. With the guidance of our staff, our students plan and implement community service projects – giving them the experience and insight to continue serving the community effectively for the rest of their lives. Learning Hebrew, touring the land, and interacting with the people of Israel engage talmidot as 'citizens of Israel' throughout their year of study. Midreshet Lev's vision is to establish a Sheirut Leumi Boddedot program to be able to encourage and support our students who take the next step in becoming part of Israeli society.
We have been awarded a lot of land by the iriyah of Bet Shemesh for a permanent presence in the neighborhood of Nevei Shamir. It is in the process of final approval which has been delayed due to war and delayed elections.
