Machon Bina Seminary, which provides its students with the experience of a lifetime and the tools to grow and develop into their unique selves, is going into its 5th year.

The Machon Bina program was designed around the students providing an environment where each can further develop her unique self and strengthen her identity and commitment to a life guided by Torah and Chasidus.

It is the details and the nuances of the Machon Bina program that fosters this growth classroom learning (discussions, text-based, small group learning, farbrengens and other modalities of adult learning) and hands-on/ minds-on/ souls-on projects.

Through this blend of learning and projects, students gain deep and meaningful insights into life as a Chabad woman, and hone their strengths and learn new skills for living a full and purposeful life. The program will help them develop the mindsets and tools for life as a woman, wife, mother, and Shlucha, or wherever life takes them.

Seminary is a gap year of sorts for our young women the year between the authority of high school and the autonomy of adult life. Where they move the rewards and discipline measures of school to their intrinsic motivation that guides their decisions, says Mrs. Shosh Rabinowitz, Director.

Young adults need to gradually move from that authority and extrinsic motivation to that autonomy. They need to be in a setting that proactively provides the context so that they can become more experienced in perspectives seeking, communication, collaboration, creative problem solving, priority and time management, all within the Torah and Chasidic lens, Rabinowitz says.

That is what the student will get in Machon Bina a seminary program that is fully immersive, a well-developed context for personal development in all facets of life.

Machon Bina staff is led by Rabbi Elisha Shapira, Menahel Ruchani and Mrs. Shosh Rabinowitz, director.

Staff includes Rabbi Baruch Kaplan, Rabbi Yoav Rubinsohn, Rabbi Elchonon Cohen, Rabbi Y.N Wichnin, Rabbi Dovid Beitsh, Rabbi S Newman, Rabbi M.M Karasik, Mrs. Rivkah Chanin, Mrs. Chedva Braun, Mrs. Nechama Pewzner, Mrs. Hindel Swerdlov, Mrs. N. Zeiler, and Dr. Channi Schwartz.
