Why Tiferet?
Tiferet has designed a unique midrasha experience that allows you to maximize all that the year in Israel has to offer. Because we are in a community and our teachers live within walking distance of our campus, we are able to provide an environment that is completely unique. There are so many benefits to having your teachers nearby.
Things that are completely unique to Tiferet:
Relationships
- Within the first day or two, all of your teachers will know your name.
- Within the first month, you will have been to many of your teacher's homes at least once.
- In a short time you will develop strong and lifetime relationships with the same teachers that are inspiring you in the classroom.
- All of our teachers make time to meet and learn with you individually
- Teachers are there for you until after midnight just about every night
- Our warm environment helps you acclimate easily - no waiting until December to start getting into it.
Learning
- Because your teachers know your name and you've been to their house for a Shabbat meal several times, you feel very comfortable in the classroom
- Because of the close relationships that you have with your teachers, a shiur in Tiferet is not a lecture but an interactive shiur - You feel comfortable asking questions!
- You don't have over thirty teachers in your weekly schedule who hardly know you
- Since each teacher knows each of their students so well, there is no need for mandatory tests and exams - class is stress-free. Optional tests are offered for review purposes only.

Chesed
- Because we live in a community, we are always ready to spring into action when a family or chesed organization needs our help. That's why our students are constantly involved in Chesed - besides their weekly Chesed afternoon.
Students
- Since we are away from the 'scene' in Yerushalayim, you are assured that your fellow students are serious about making the most of their year in Israel
- The Tiferet students are carefully selected to be friendly, growth-oriented and fun-to-be-with girls who are looking to make amazing lifetime relationships
