Yeshivat Makor Chaim was established in 1985 under the visionary leadership of Rabbi Adin Steinsaltz (Even Israel). Today, the Makor Chaim Educational Institution operates a high school located in the Gush Etzion area, south of Jerusalem.It has been recognized by the Ministry of Education as an Experimental School and a Teacher Training Institution as well.〔http://www.nbn.org.il/aliyahpedia/education-ulpan/school-profiles/mekor-chaim-yeshiva/〕 The senior Rosh Yeshiva, Rabbi Dov Singer is ably assisted by Rabbi David Rabinowitz. In addition to the high school which serves close to 300 students annually, Makor Chaim also operates a the "Beit Midrash L'Hitchadshut" -the Renewal Outreach Center- a nationwide outreach Study & Prayer program for personal spiritual development as well as several training and development programs for educators, administrators and others committed to focusing on the student rather than on subject material. ==Educational and Religious Philosophy== The Yeshiva is known for its Neo-Chassidic ideaology. Having said that, The Yeshiva encourages students to find their own path in their ''Avodat Hashem'' (Worship of G-d). It is very common to find two students sitting next to each other in the Bet Midrash, with one learining ''Likutei Moharan'' (Hebrew: ליקוטי מוהר"ן, one the main books of the Breslav Chassidic sect), and the other learning a book such as ''Nefesh Hachaim'' (Hebrew: נפש החיים, whose author, R' Chaim Soloveitchik was one of the dominant Rabbi's of the Lithuanian Jewish community in the 19th century). The Educational philosophy of the Yeshiva is one that encourages the individual student to excel in the area that interests him, and the yeshiva will readily offer assistance to a student who is in need of additional help. The focus is on realizing the potential of the individual student. This can be seen in the unique programs for Talmud Study that the Yeshiva offers for its students. In the morning Talmud Study period, a high level Talmud class, known as "Eshkolot Iyun" (Hebrew: אשכולות עיון) is offered for interested 10th and 11th graders. The focus of this program is developing the students analytical skills, and being able to find the conceptual underpinnings of the matter at hand. A program bearing the same name is offered for students of all ages during the nightly Talmud Study period. Students have the option of learning a full double-sided pholio (Daf) of Talmud, as opposed to a one sided pholio (Amud). This range of options gives the student the opportunity to find what is best for him, and allows him to develop his own path in Torah learning. Another example of this is found in the afternoon Torah Study period after afternoon prayers. This is a time for students to learn whatever their heart desires, and many develop a deep love and appreciation for the torah by studying a part of the torah that they feel uniquely connected to. Many students say that it is this time of the day that they cherish the most. The same is true regarding the secular studies. The core curriculum as set by the Ministry of Education is taught, but many additional options are available for interested students. Part of the core curriculum are the electives that 11th and 12th graders study. These include Physics, Biology, Literature, Environmental Studies, Computer Science, Land of Israel Studies and History. The student is encouraged to choose what is best for him, and the teaching staff is always ready to assist a student in need of guidance. Ten years ago, the Senior Rosh Yeshiva, Rav Dov Singer established the Bet Hamidrash for Renewal (Hebrew: בית המדרש להתחדשות), and the educational philosophy of the Yeshiva started to spread throughout the Israeli educational system. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yeshivat Makor Chaim」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
