Machon Lev/Naveh<br />
Campus at night<br />
16<br />
For students with limited background in Judaic studies formal classes are offered in<br />
a broad range of subjects to provide students with exposure to many topics.<br />
A Challenging Program<br />
The various study programs described above are very challenging. From our experience<br />
many students would like to undertake this difficult program, but extenuating<br />
circumstances such as marriage and livlihood take priority. In order to assist, a Machon<br />
Lev student who fulfills one of the following criteria, if he so desires, may be excused<br />
from studies in the Beit Medrash:<br />
A fourth year student who has completed mandatory Army duty and whose<br />
program includes less than 12 credits per semester.<br />
A fourth year student who is married.<br />
A third year student who is a graduate of a Hesder Yeshiva and is married.<br />
A graduate of JCT’s academic preparatory program with 8 credits in Judaic Studies.<br />
A Machon Lev student who receives an exemption from Beit Medrash studies<br />
will be eligible for stipends and scholarships according to the criteria of Machon<br />
Naveh.<br />
Housing Facilities<br />
Machon Lev offers dormitory facilities and services to students. It is recommended<br />
that unmarried students reside in the dorms, in an environment of Torah, to ensure<br />
participation in the morning Tefilot, which is immediately followed by a class in<br />
Halacha led by one of the Rabbis .<br />
All residents of the dormitory are required to act in accordance with JCT bylaws,<br />
which are publicized annually in the Student Handbook, and which students must<br />
sign before moving into the dormitory.<br />
Criteria for Dormitory Residence<br />
The demand for dormitory residence is greater than the space available, therefore,<br />
students should submit their application early, with a security deposit, to increase their<br />
chance of obtaining a place in the dorm. The dormitory management will endeavor to<br />
respond to the many requests, but unfortunately not everyone will get a room.<br />
Priority will be given to those who:<br />
Accept upon themselves the rules and regulations of the dorms<br />
Are enrolled in full-time program<br />
Apply early (first come, first served)<br />
Reside outside of Jerusalem (Jerusalem residents can apply and will be placed on a<br />
waiting list)<br />
Students whose acceptance is dependent on their success in Elul studies can register<br />
for the dorm. Approval of dormitory allotment will be determined only after their final<br />
acceptance to the college and upon determination that they are eligible for the dorm.<br />
Unfortunately we do not have residence facilities for married couples on campus.<br />
Dormitory Fees<br />
Dormitory fees range between NIS 3,900 and NIS 6,300 annually, depending on the<br />
specifications of the room and the number of students in each room.<br />
Specific details with regards to the dormitory facilities and registration procedure are<br />
included in the Student Handbook sent with the letter of acceptance.
