APARTMENT living

Instead of common dorm life, our students are housed in apartments in the vicinity of the Midrasha, in order to promote our ideal of independent learning and independent living (both, of course, with ample guidance and supervision). Students at Amudim are thus provided a home to live in all year round. With staff on premises, students live in apartments with dining and living rooms, outdoor space and a kitchen,  even though 3 meals a day are provided. 

Sharing a home and experiences of daily living, students form deep bonds with  each other. At the end of a day, students can unwind with a ride on one of our bikes or on the couch with friends, playing games or sharing a cup of tea, or a laugh.

Students feel that they have a home during breaks, at night and on Shabbat. Having a home in Israel rather than a bunk in a dorm gives our students a sense of belonging and security.
