The opening as it read in October 6, 2023

Machon Gold was an Orthodox Jewish girl's seminary (originally co-ed) founded in 1958 by the Torah Education Department of the World Zionist Organization and named after Rabbi Wolf Gold , one of the signatories of the Israeli declaration of independence . It was arguably the first such seminary intended for students from the US . The school closed in 2008 due to financial considerations. It was one of the few Religious Zionist seminaries for English speakers in Israel . It was located in Jerusalem , in the Geula neighborhood. In the two decades before closing, most students were post high school , continuing their Torah Study for a year or two in Israel; prior to that, most students came as part of a study abroad program in college . The school's faculty included Nechama Leibowitz and Rabbi Yeshayahu Hadari (who later founded boy's seminary Yeshivat HaKotel ). Classes emphasized Halacha , Tanakh and Hashkafah , and included courses in Gemara , Mishna , Musar , Jewish philosophy and Jewish history . Students graduating from Machon Gold received a teacher's license from the Israel Ministry of Education . A Facebook message to alumna [1] explains this. The Commentator . 1968-02-15 .
