Shalhevet alumni in Israel meet menahelet

Some of the Midreshet Shalhevet students currently in Midrashot in Israel met with Shalhevet Menahelet Mrs. Esther Eisenman (second from right, seated) in Yerushalayim one evening this past week. “It was wonderful to see the girls and see that even after close to a year after graduation they are still close as a group,” said Mrs. Eisenman upon her return to New York. “They’ve been seeing each other all year and even though only a few of them are in the same seminary, they were all sharing their experiences of the year in Israel together: you could tell by the way they were answering questions for one another! Each of them has grown so much and it was gratifying to see how much each of them is learning during this special year. They’ve each come to appreciate Torat Yisrael, Am Yisrael and Medinat Yisrael on a deeper level and have spent time incorporating these values personally. The level of introspection I heard about was impressive. As a group and as individuals, they continue to impress me, and I look forward to continuing to hear about their decisions and their spiritual growth in the years to come.”
