You grew up in a sheltered home and environment, and spent your school years in the same manner. Thirteen, fourteen, and maybe even more years, you were constantly surrounded by warm friends, family, caring teachers, and familiar faces. Your seminary experience left you with a spiritual high, feeling on top of the world…and then suddenly it’s all over. You find yourself not only on your own as independent young adult, but you also realize that maintaining that spiritual high from seminary is a mission left up to you and you alone. Will you be able to handle the world and everything the challenges that come with it while still growing spiritually? You find yourself having to decide how you will continue growing. Will you reluctantly join the ranks of Chabad lite growing among our youth?
So seminary is over. Now what? Is that the end of formal chassidishe Chinuch? Is there any post seminary level education to be pursued? Is the protective cocoon you were in since childhood, the community, friendships, social life, farbrengens, and fun all gone forever?! You suddenly feel lost and don’t know where you will eat for Shabbos, where you will hear Havdalah, which shul you belong to and feel comfortable davening in?
Is there any chassidishe place to pursue vocational training within the Chabad community? Is there any school where one can study and get training in the many aspects of shlichus: both practical and theoretical?! And alternatively, are there choices of chassidus, halacha and inspirational classes I can join to keep my level of yiddishkeit and not chas veshalom slip? Is there any available support in shidduchim, mashpiim and guidance until I get married? These are all questions that might be flooding your mind…but there’s an answer!

Knowing the systems we have in chabad for the past years. I’m happy to hear of such a delightful program come to our Shchuna BH
Exactly what so many girls need these days. Thank you to the ones who are behind this thinking of our girls!
Wish I had this when I was post-sem, so my speed!
The circumstances that led to this need are the ever-growing Shidduch crisis. It used to be that shortly after finishing two years of seminary, girls were getting married. Nowadays, unfortunately, shidduchim are not happening so quickly, and most girls spend many years after seminary single, alone, and without the proper structure provided by marriage and family life. Thus, just as the boys have the structure of Yeshiva until marriage, it is imperative that there be supportive Yiddishe, Chassidishe environments for our young women in the crucial pre-marriage years. It is painful to see how many fine girls, after years without… Read more »
This looks incredible I wish I had this a few years ago!!
its looks like a nice program
This is the very thing a lot of singles from far away countries are missing.
I think it can only strengthen a girl, at such a vulnerable time.
This program looks amazing, and I do not wish to CV criticize it in any way. But I’m a bit confused regarding the circumstances that led for such a need. How many transition years do our children need? Wasn’t seminary supposed to be that magical ‘transition’ year? I’m happy michlelet chana is filling a void. But why aren’t girls holding onto their values? Isn’t that the point of values? No doubt, everyone is going to fall when they leave their ‘cocoon’. But your seminary year should have solidified your upbringing. Your seminary year IS that transition year. Now again, every… Read more »
