Machon Shlomo
Har Nof, Jerusalem

The average student at Machon Shlomo is a young man in college or a young man who is a post-college professional and has little formal Jewish education. Our program enables young adults to develop skills and insights so that they can grapple with a wide range of Jewish texts. Together we will explore the worlds of Talmud, Chumash, Philosophy and Mussar in an integrated manner.

Our rabbinic staff is an exciting mesh of diverse personalities with distinct teaching styles and approaches to Torah. Included amongst our staff are some of the greatest scholars in the world, who are dedicated to nurturing each individual student and provide personal attention to our select student body.

At Machon Shlomo, we have found that by directing students to look deeply into the Torah and themselves they become empowered to live lives that resonate with truth, grandeur and joy. Our goal is not just to teach students how to learn, but to teach students how to live and grow as sons of Torah.

Students generally live on campus, where housing and meals are provided.
