Beth Jacob Jerusalem

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Beth Jacob Jerusalem (Hebrew: סמינר בית יעקב למורות‎, Seminar Bais Yaakov LeMorot), commonly known as BJJ, is a prestigious Haredi religious girls seminary located in the Unsdorf neighborhood of Jerusalem, Israel.[1] It was founded in the early 1960s by Dr. Bruria David.

Founding

David founded Beth Jacob Jerusalem as a post-high-school seminary geared for American and Israeli graduates of Bais Yaakov who wished to pursue Torah study on a high academic level. The seminary also provides professional training toward a teaching degree. David interviews each applicant to maintain the school's reputation as one of the "elite" institutions in the Haredi world.[1]
