American Friends Of Yeshivat Kol Tzofayich
An experiential and interdisciplinary 7-12th school program based on the tenets of Torah V’Avoda at the foothills of Mount Carmel
Kol Tzofayich, located in the majestic mountains of northern Israel, offers a truly one-of-a-kind school experience. This hands-on, camplike educational phenomenon has quickly grown from 28 to over 200 students in just four years. Offering customized, experiential education, students learn directly how each subject relates to real-world applications and situations. The study of math, for example, is in tandem with cabinetry design, while chemistry is experienced through culinary arts and cosmetology. “We unite real-world experience and classroom academics on a moment-by-moment basis,” says school founder Yehuda Rothner, a dynamo in the education world who was known globally for his phenomenal success running Camp Stone in the U.S. Those worlds must converge on a daily basis holistically in school. Every subject is capable of doing that.” The school, which includes grades 7-12, also offers a sociological and economic breaking-of-barriers, with students of all backgrounds uniting from throughout Israel, as well as the U.S., Russia, Ukraine and Ethiopia. “We provide students a sense of the whole and what the world really has to offer, giving them the skills to be successful in life.”

We're growing! Help Renovate our Mulit-purpose Auditorium!
This year we have been especially blessed with a generous matching campaign, which will help renovate our much-needed auditorium in the middle school building. This
extraordinary space will allow for a number of essential experiences. With a state-of-the art audio-visual system, integrated desks, and enough seating for the middle school, we will be able to create programs previously unimaginable. One of the most important aspects of our program is the ability to offer engaging Tefilla (prayer) programs for both Kol Tzofayich and the new immigrant students. This newly renovated venue will allow us to provide a tefilla atmosphere in which students from all backgrounds benefit from an inclusive experience, including Bar and Bat Mitzvah celebrations for both native Israelis and new Olim from Russian/Ukrainian descent.
With this renovation, Kol Tzofayich will continue to be provide all students in the Youth Village a truly innovative, interdisciplinary program that seeks to revolutionize education both in the academic/vocational fields as well as in the socio-religious spheres. Together we can create a society which is balanced, inclusive, deeply spiritual, and instills students with the passion and skills to change the world for the better.
During this fundraising campaign every $500 seat purchased will be matched! Seats can be dedicated in honor/memory of a person or event.
