// OUR PHILOSOPHY

PARTNERS IN THE BUILDING OF THE LAND.

Ulpenat Tzvia Kochav Ya'akov aspires to educate young women of yirat shamayim — God-fearing women of good character, leaders of halakha guided by Torah and faith, conscious of their role in the generation of redemption.

Students participate in shaping the people and the land. A meticulous emphasis on the precise observance of mitzvot, alongside the spirit of halakha, is one of the foundational characteristics of the ulpenat.

The ulpenat is a warm home — supportive and embracing — for students navigating the years of adolescence, with an emphasis on building personal relationships between staff and students.

We don't teach our students to choose between Torah and the world — we teach them that the world is where Torah is studied most honestly.
