Every single individual in Tomer Devorah has contributed to my personal achievements, contributed to my unforgettable experiences, contributed to my standing here today as a proud TD student, but more importantly a proud Jewish girl; and for that I am eternally grateful. I couldn’t be any happier to have spent this year with the incredible staff and amazing girls. I’m happy we got to work through our challenges together and create great memories. Can’t wait to see where this incredible path takes us.

The friends I have made this year have impacted my life in ways I could never have imagined. They always deal with my ups and especially my downs in the best ways possible. I am extremely grateful to have made these friends and continue the friendships for many many years after!

The environment at Tomer Devorah is one that I would describe as eye-opening. Besides for it being a family-like environment, it’s made up of so many different types of people. Every girl and every staff member is a different jagged puzzle piece, but when we are all put together we create a beautiful picture. I think that’s what makes this school such an accepting, open minded place.

At Tomer Devorah, you feel right at home the moment you step foot in the building. All the girls here became friends within the first few days. It’s amazing to see how well everyone gets along, including the shana alef and shana bet girls. I know that for my roommates and I, when we come back from an out-Shabbat, we are so happy to finally see each other and be together again. Tomer Devorah definitely feels like a home to me.

Tomer Devorah helped me become mature and become an independent individual. Through the classes and teachers, I was able to reach my full potential and I learned how much further I can go in many different aspects. The atmosphere is very comfortable and home-like and the teachers are so approachable. To this day, I am still in touch and close with some teachers and faculty.

I found that a unique aspect of Tomer Devorah was the strong support system and availability of the staff to our individual needs.

The reason why it’s worth taking off a year to spend at Tomer Devorah is because there you are choosing how you want to lead your life before you make very important life decisions.

Tamar Sandler

Taking a year to go to Israel was the best thing I could do because it changed my world. It taught me a new love and appreciation for Israel and learning. Learning in Tomer D is not like America, not only did I learn how to continue my learning back home but the classes themselves brought torah in a new light.

Seffi Millstein

My classes in Tomer Devorah helped me appreciate living a Torah life. Words cannot describe the enjoyment I experiences in my classes and in my discussions with the staff. They’ve encouraged me to constantly grow and seek out their advice when needed. This kind of warmth and caring is something unique to the Tomer Devorah staff; they became our family.

Bari Dolinger

I personally loved Tomer Devorah for the incredible warmth of the seminary. From the moment I got into the airport and had the Rabbis and the teachers, and the madrichot greeting me, I knew I was in the right place and I was somewhere that would take care of me, and help me, and be there for me throughout the whole year… Even now I know that I could e-mail or call any of my teachers and they would be happy to speak with me… I think that is very unique and special.
