From Our Students

"I learned that I didn't have to leave behind my art in order to be Jewish . . . . Hashem gave me these unique talents to make a tikkun in the world."
- Haddas

"You can feel the presence of G-d in these hills. I never felt this in Jerusalem, except at the Kotel."
- Sarah

"I took away from the classes so much more than Torah and halacha . . . I learned what it truly means to be an Eshet Chayil."
- Tiferet

"I thought being in Jerusalem, the holy city, would be more conducive to growing spiritually. But, living here, with the Jewish students and in a totally observant community, I was really able to absorb so much about correct Jewish practices and belief even in my everyday life outside of the classroom."
- Chana

"I've seen quite a bit of life already, so I wasn't too keen on living in a dorm setting. But now, I feel truly privledged to have been a part of this wonderful community of women."
- Rivkah

"The rabbi and staff are so caring . . . I had to work hard to get through the conversion process, but I knew I always had their support, whether I needed help understanding a letter from Misrad Hapnim or a shoulder to cry on. They were always there for me."
- Ahuva

Student Life

Accommodations

Our students live as the modern pioneers of Israel lived--in simple accommodations on the Land. We believe that this way of living holds the beauty of simplicity that we hope our students will come to appreciate during your their learning at B'not Ruth on the campus of Midreshet B'erot Bat Ayin.

Each student usually has her own room, and shares a bathroom and small living space with one other student. If there is a large Shabbaton, then students may be asked to receive two or three guests.

The dorms are surrounded by a garden and an orchard, and look out onto a breathtaking view of the Land of Israel. The Mediterranean Sea can be seen on a clear day!

Meals

Part of the philosophy of B'not Ruth is to nurture and care for the body as well as the soul. To this extent, 4 healthy lunches are prepared each week for the students, and usually by the students. Many times, the vegetables are harvested directly from the garden to the table! Other meals are made individually be students, using our fully-equipped dairy kitchen. A grocery store in Bat Ayin can fulfill all of the basic grocery needs.
