The revolutionary Prague Seminary is gearing towards its fourth year. The Seminary in Prague is a flourishing post-high school Chinuch institution with the goal of giving each girl under its care a year to learn, grow, connect, and give. With personal attention and connection as a priority, the Prague Seminary is in the midst of an incredible third year!
The seminary building is situated in the center of the old Jewish Ghetto of Prague, just around the corner from famous historic sites such as the Maharal’s Altneu Shul and the old Jewish cemetery; burial site of the Maharal and the Kli Yakar. Housed in a four-story building boasting a brand-new and modern dormitory, classroom, lounge, renovated kitchen and well-equipped exercise room, the Prague Seminary makes it a priority to ensure that each girl will experience a year of growth and learning while having all of her needs met, both bgashmius and bruchnius.
Classes in the Prague Seminary encompass a wide range of topics such as Parshas hashavua, Maamar, Bayis Yehudi, Chinuch, teachings of the Maharal, Halacha, Inyonei Geulah uMoshiach, Likkutei Sichos, Hashkafa, Jewish history, and Gemara.
Thanks to the small group size and dedicated staff, each student in the Prague Seminary receives individualized attention and care throughout her seminary year. The Hanhala works diligently to meet the needs of every student and to cultivate an environment in which each one can truly flourish. The Madrichot work tirelessly to provide guidance and support, as well as extracurricular programs from which the students greatly benefit during their year in seminary.
The many classes and programs aim to infuse the girls with a sense of pride in their Yiddishkeit and Chassidishkeit, as well as a jumpstart into their future roles as the Shluchos and educators of the next generation. The relatively small student body also gives each girl an opportunity to be actively involved in programs and contribute to the group.
In keeping with the seminary’s goal to provide its students with hands-on leadership and shlichus experience, students also get a chance to impart Torah learning and Jewish values to a variety of crowds by leading shlichus projects such as children’s programs, Cteen events, weekly ladies’ chavrusa learning, and mivtzoyim visits to senior centers and the local Jewish school. With its emphasis on learning, growing and giving, a year in the Prague Seminary gives girls an opportunity to cultivate a strong value system that will prepare them to face the future.
The students also enjoy monthly trips to many destinations in Europe bringing Jewish history to life, as well as seeing firsthand what various Shlichus looks like around the world. These trips combine fun with eye-opening learning experiences, as students hear about the Torah giants who lived in each place and learn some of their teachings.
