 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.
