Through the
Migdal Ohr university program, students can pursue a profession while gaining a
strong exposure to their heritage.
Currently, two majors in a secular field of study are offered, either business
administration or computer science. A full curriculum of secular studies is complemented
by 10 hours of Jewish studies and leadership training each week.
A local university
provides the lecture environment for a group of Jewish students within the sphere of their
major, whilst Migdal Ohr supplies the humanities curriculum in the form of Jewish
studies. The four-year program includes a year of study in Israel, during which students
receive an intensive religious education. Upon completion, students receive a degree. In
Moscow, this is conferred by Touro College and in St Petersburg by the State University of
Aerospace Instrumentation.
In addition to a
university degree, the Moscow branch offers a teachers’ training program which allows
students to pursue an exclusive Jewish studies curriculum, awarding a teaching certificate
in Jewish studies upon completion.
A total of
approximately 165 students participate in these programs. The Moscow branch has about 70
women and 30 men attending, while close to 50 women and 15 men are enrolled in St.
Petersburg.
Moscow and
St. Petersburg combine their summer camps for both boys and girls, which allow students a
chance to enjoy a three-week vacation within a religious framework.
In this way, the
students have the opportunity to get to know youths from other cities who share their
interests. The total figure for boys’ and girls’ attendance is approximately
200.
