Midreshet Tehillah - Dorm Life



Midreshet Tehillah students are housed in one of the eight student residences located on the Neve Yerushalayim campus. Residence buildings are divided into apartments, with each apartment having four or six dormitory rooms, a kitchen, and washroom facilities with showers. Automatic washers and dryers for laundry are available in the building. Three students live in each dormitory room. Midreshet Tehillah's housemother, Ariela Cohen, supported by two madrichot, is responsible for the well-being of Midreshet Tehillah students in the dormitory.

Midreshet Tehillah accepts responsibility for its students from the beginning of the program until its conclusion. Therefore, the Midreshet Tehillah dormitory is open continuously from the day before the commencement of the program until several days after its conclusion in June. It remains open during all vacations. Similarly, a full compliment of meals are served in the school's dining hall throughout the academic year including vacations. On a regular weekday a light breakfast is served in the morning and a hot meal at lunch with vegetables and, on alternating days, either meat or fish. A light supper is served in the evening. Options are available for vegetarians, but anyone with more specific dietary requirements has to take responsibility for her own needs. There is a fridge and freezer in the dorm apartment for student use and students are allowed to cook dairy in the dorm, but no cooking equipment is provided by the school.

Approximately once a month Midreshet Tehillah has a shabbaton when students are required to eat together. Some of the shabbatons are on campus and others are out of town. For the shabbatot and chagim when the school has no plannecd activity, students generally make their own meal arrangements with friends and family. If students prefer, they can be set up for meals and/or sleeping with families we know. We look upon these requests as educational opportunities to introduce students to different people living in Israel and expand their understanding of how these days are experienced.
