This past Wednesday, June 12, the Chaya Aydel Seminary graduated its 17th Class since the women’s teacher’s college was founded in September of 2002.

The teachers of Chaya Aydel Seminary are exceptional. Students continuously look forward, to the exciting and engaging lessons that the teachers prepare.
All the classes in Chaya Aydel present Torah and Chassidus in a way that brings out the beauty of each concept, ultimately leading students to be proud Chassidim of the Rebbe.
Not only do the teachers care and show concern for their students in class, but the teachers devote time outside of class to any individual who needs extra help, or attention.

Both dorm counselors and social worker meet regularly with students to help them succeed and reach their full potential. Life skills classes are offered by social workers and other experts. The dorm counselors are always available to assist students in need, and are both very cognizant of the girls’ safety, and well being.
Aside from all the phenomenal classes that Chaya Aydel Seminary has to offer, students are privileged to be involved in after-school activities which impact the Hallandale Beach community immensely.

Rabbi Yossi Lebovics, the principal of the Chaya Aydel Seminary, is an extremely intelligent, honest, and kind man. Rabbi Lebovics makes every student feels comfortable in Chaya Aydel, and is always accommodating of the girls’ requests. Rabbi Lebovics puts a tremendous amount of time, and effort, ensuring that the Seminary runs smoothly, and efficiently.

Does this program give them a bachelors degree? In my state, it’s required for a person to be a teacher unless they want to be a teaching aide which is a respected and important role but one working under the guidance of a teacher or work in daycare or preschool.
