 Eligibility
Open to both single and married men.
Open to adult students of all ages, though the median
age each year is generally in the mid-to-late 20's.
With few exceptions, candidates have an academic
or professional degree, or the equivalent life experience.
Basic commitment to traditional Jewish observance
is a prerequisite.
The ability to read (although not necessarily understand)
Hebrew is a prerequisite.
Application
In order to process your application we need the following:
1. Your completely filled in application form,
including the essay. Either:
2. Two
letters of recommendation (only one required for the summer program).
Please ask those who write letters of recommendation
to include:
a. the name of the organization they represent; and
b. a
phone number for any follow-up questions.
3. Two photographs (one if sent as an email
attachment)
4. Interview with a staff member
(arranged through the Darche Noam office) is generally
required
Once
you have applied:
- The turn around time
for getting you a reply is usually 48 hours, but on
occasion it can be as much as a week.
- A majority of applicants
are accepted. However we sometimes get a sense that
an applicant is better suited for an alternative program.
We also have space limitations which prevent us from
accepting all qualified applicants.
- Consequently, while
there is no deadline for applications, there is a
definite advantage to applying early.
- An accepted student
is given two weeks to pay a $400 non-refundable registration
fee by check or credit card, which holds their place
in the program.
- The next tuition payment
is only due three days after the Zman begins, to give
the new student a chance to confirm that he chose
the right program.
- Please stay in contact
with the Darche Noam Office
to check on the status of your application and for
any questions that come up; they will be happy to
help out in any way possible.
