“The Secular Yeshiva is a very significant experience, one which shapes the future of its participants, it certainly helped me in shaping my own Jewish-Israeli-secular identity. This year has made me think about education as a professional direction, about social activism as an integral part of my life and about community – what sort of social framework do I want to live in and be a part of.”
“The time I have spent at the Yeshiva has aroused my curiosity and my growing sense of commitment to study, which may have an impact on my academic choices in the future.”
“One of the most significant aspects of my year at the Yeshiva relates to the celebration of holidays. This year I participated in two Tu Bishvat seders and it was so much fun! I had never celebrated Tu Bishvat before so it was very significant – something I hope to preserve in my future.”
“I’m not yet sure about my plans for the future but I feel that the Yeshiva will have an impact on my decisions on the future…this year I have had the opportunity and the ability to do social action… there are (social justice) issues that I will have trouble ignoring in the future (refugees etc.).”
“The unique exposure to a world of content in the setting of local reality is a challenging, self-building, thought provoking, inspiring experience. A once-in-a-lifetime experience.”
“Yom Kippur at the Yeshiva was the most significant experience for me. This was the first time in my life to experience a significant Yom Kippur, surrounded by a community in which I fit in.”
“The atmosphere at the Yeshiva has opened up getting to know different people and different ways of Jewish secular life – different from what I’ve known before. “
