Machon Roni
Geared for young women age 18 and up, Machon Roni aims to inspire its students with the challenge of their role as Jewish women and instill in them a love of Torah. Students appreciate Machon Roni's vibrant and dynamic approach to Torah studies, with an emphasis on personal growth. Machon Roni is a warm place in Israel for girls from abroad. They find a caring environment and comfortable dormitories, which remain open throughout the academic year. The school staff sees to all Shabbat and holiday arrangements for its students so that they don't have the burden of making their own accommodations. They are either invited to their teachers' homes or the homes of hospitable English-speaking families.
Our caring Rabbis and women teachers have been chosen for their ability to bring Torah to life in the classroom. Animated discussions are our trademark, keeping the students thinking and involved. Rabbi David Goldstein, Principal, and his staff are committed to creating a warm, bonding, caring environment for the girls so that they will be able to grow in Torah. They take an interest in the needs of each student and are available for consultation on all matters, both academic and personal.
"Only if teachers are truly excited about learning Torah can they successfully communicate this enthusiasm to their students," says Rebbitzen Mollie Goldstein, veteran women's educator and Dean of Machon Roni. "Once the students absorb that enthusiasm, it will remain with them as they go on to establish their families. We consider the education of young women to be of paramount importance to the Jewish people, since they will be the ones to set the Torah tone in the home."
At Machon Roni, in-depth textual study alternates with classes on thought-provoking philosophical issues. Mrs. Sorah Goldstein, Principal, explains that the focus of the Machon Roni program is on character building. "Successful education means internalizing the lessons and putting them into practice in everyday life. We offer classes on many different levels so that each student can be challenged according to her skills."
