Machon Gold

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Machon Gold is a Orthodox Jewish girl's seminary founded in 1958 by the Torah Education Department of the World Zionist Organization and named after Rabbi Wolf Gold, one of the signatories of the Israeli declaration of independence.

It is one of the few Religious Zionist seminaries for English speakers in Israel. It is located in Jerusalem, in the old Katamon neighborhood. Most students are post-high school teens who come to Israel for a year or two to learn various subjects in Judaism.

Classes include subjects such as Halacha, Tanach, Hashkafah, Gemara, Mishna, Musar, Jewish philosophy and Jewish history.[1][2]

Students graduating from Machon Gold receive a teacher's license from the Israel Ministry of Education.[3]
