The Conservative Yeshiva Hadassah Academic College
The Concept

The Conservative Yeshiva (CY) and Hadassah Academic College Jerusalem (HAC) have joined to create Discover Jerusalem: an Accredited Semester, a unique learning experience. In the classroom and around the city, students will gain a new level of understanding about Judaism and Jerusalem.

The program is great for college juniors (and seniors and graduate students) who are interested in: Jewish studies/religious studies, Middle East/Israel studies, modern languages, history, archeology and literature. In the CY's Beit Midrash students will acquire or boost text skills through intensive study - chevruta (study with a learning partner) and shiur (seminar class with teacher). The HAC classes will introduce students to new perspectives for understanding Israel and the Middle East.

Languages:
The language of instruction is English.
Hebrew prerequisite – a year of college Hebrew or the equivalent (e.g., completed Ulpan Aleph), since texts at the CY will be learned in the original.
