What Midreshet Eshel means to me?
Eshel really changed my life. It taught me how important having a relationship with Hashem is and how to live a religious life with Hashem by your side. I made friends for life and created bonds that I will cherish forever! The teachers care about their students and treat them like their own children, and the trips are once in a lifetime as well. Living in the Old City is a once in a lifetime opportunity and I will never forget it!!
My greatest memory from Midreshet Eshel:
Walking down Yaffo street on Purim with every single person dressed up
in a costume, singing, and just realizing how much Israel is our home.

What midreshet eshel means to me?
The location and the amazing mentors! Firstly, it was the biggest zechut to be able to live steps away from the holiest place on earth. Nothing beats the feeling of waking up for shachrit, or going to rosh chodesh neitz, selichot, and kabbalat shabbat at the kotel. Second, each and every one of the teachers at Eshel are handpicked by Hashem! They have a tremendous amount of wisdom to share, and the most caring personalities. They are truly there to foster each student’s individual growth, and put their all into creating a bond with everyone. Attending Eshel was the best decision I’ve ever made for myself!
My greatest memory from midreshet eshel?
Exploring different parts of Israel on our shabbatons, experiencing the chagim in the old city, Yom Yerushalayim, and so much more!

What midreshet eshel means to me?
Today, Eshel means so much to me. It transformed me into the person I am today, and taught me so many Midot and lessons for life.
My greatest memory from midreshet eshel?
The morning of Shavuot. Everyone stayed up all night learning, then at sunrise everyone went to the Kotel for Netz to pray Shacharit. Watching tens of thousand of people walk to the Kotel at 5 AM was incredible. Then hearing everyone together singing Hallel was the most the perfect experience I’ve ever had.

What midreshet eshel means to me?
I went to Eshel in 2019/2020 and it was the most amazing experience. Somehow in my everyday life the Eshel memories manage to pop right up! Eshel guided me in the direction of where I wanted to be. I met people who became my best friends even till this day. The teachers, the people and the experience is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Knowing you’re doing the biggest Mitzvah of learning torah in the holiest land is so powerful! Each class is dedicated to inspire you on so many levels. From character development- to Hilchot Shabbat. Everything I learned was so relevant to todays times. I truly feel that It helped me become a better person, and a better friend. It taught me the tools on how to be the best wife I could be. Not only was it an amazing learning experience, but it also helped build up my independence. Leaving my family for the year pushed me to become more confident in myself.
My greatest memory from midreshet eshel?
It’s so hard choosing one favorite memory because the whole year was a dream!! The monthly shabbaton was definitely something I looked forward to. After all the shabbatons, the one in Mitzpe Ramon overlooking the beautiful view from the crater stood out. Another amazing memory was being able to pray at the Kotel each and every day. I pushed myself for 40 consecutive days to pray by the beautiful Kotel and I wish I could do it all over again! The entire year was an experience I will never forget.
