Can any graduates tell me about your experience?

I was there mid 2010s for 8 months. It’s focused on textual learning and darchei noam of a range of hashkafos (anglo Chareidi to dati leumi, chardal) to show a range of kosher lifestyles. it’s professional women taking a pause to learn for a couple months or a year mostly after undergrad, grad school, time between jobs (at least it was then). We lived in Har Nof apartments. When I was there it was almost all Baalos teshuva who had been frum 2-5+ years, but I believe many of the women are FFB now. It’s a really good nice place.

I was there 15 years ago Smile

To echo the previous poster, most women were a few years into their teshuva journey and had recently graduated college or had worked for a few years. Some ended up MO, others yeshvish, a few chassidish and a bunch JPF.

They had great textual learning and did not push a particular hashkafa.

Any specific questions?

I have a baalat tshuva interested and she just wants to learn more about it — what is the daily schedule? do the girls learn everything inside (including Halacha)? is there any option for Talmud? do many girls date/get married during the program? If you can answer any of these or similar that would be super helpful!

No gemara inside, just ein yaakov. https://darchenoam.org/midresh.....culum
Nowadays, lots of the women are making aliyah. When I was there, plenty of women dating. Tanach was inside but halacha, machshava was source sheets I believe

Also the staff is super real and nice and sensible- I’m sure they’d be happy to talk. Yaffa Moskowitz is a good person to speak to about fit (contact info on their site)

Thanks! Did you still get the skills for learning halacha etc inside from the source sheets, or not so much? She's very anxious about learning skills for lifelong study -- she wants the broadest horizon possible in terms of learning

I went there as a ffb and had a great time. They have different tracks depending on your skill level. In my track I was learning from inside the sefer and had a great chavrusa. I agree yaffa moskowitz is a gem 💎
