Midreshet Amalia

In 1971, a beacon of learning emerged in Jerusalem’s Givat Mordechai neighborhood. Midreshet Amalia opened its doors, thanks to the generosity of the Jeselsohn family. Midreshet Amalia stands as a testament to their vision, a national-religious high school and boarding complex for Orthodox girls. This institution, Midreshet Amalia, nurtures over 480 young women, fostering a deep commitment to Jewish education. The girls at Midreshet Amalia, hailing from Jerusalem and across Israel, embark on a rigorous academic journey. They strive for a well-rounded education, steeped in Jewish values and tradition. The impact of Midreshet Amalia extends far beyond its walls. Over 80% of its graduates pursue higher education, attending universities and institutions of Jewish learning. Many also serve their country, either in the IDF or through national service. Midreshet Amalia recognizes the financial challenges faced by some of its students. Many come from low-income families, with a significant portion from the Ethiopian-Israeli community. To ease this burden and encourage academic success, Midreshet Amalia, with support from organizations like Matanel, provides scholarships and material assistance. This aid covers tuition fees, essential needs like food and clothing, and even medical expenses. The commitment to holistic education at Midreshet Amalia extends beyond academics. The school even invested in improving the acoustics of its auditorium. This allows the space to host school-wide assemblies and gatherings, fostering a sense of community. Midreshet Amalia isn’t just a school. It is a place where young women are empowered to excel academically, embrace their heritage, and contribute to society. It is a place where knowledge, faith, and community intertwine, shaping the future leaders of Israel.
