Machon Gold

Machon Gold was an Orthodox Jewish girl's seminary founded in 1958 by the Torah Education Department of the World Zionist Organization and named after Rabbi Wolf Gold, one of the signatories of the Israeli declaration of independence. The school closed in 2008 due to financial considerations. [1]

It was one of the few Religious Zionist seminaries for English speakers in Israel. It was located in Jerusalem, in the old Katamon neighborhood. Most students were post high school, continuing their Torah Study for a year or two in Israel. See Midrasha #Israel programs.

Classes emphasized Halacha, Tanakh and Hashkafah, and included courses in Gemara, Mishna, Musar, Jewish philosophy and Jewish history. [2]

Students graduating from Machon Gold received a teacher's license from the Israel Ministry of Education.[3]
