About MTC

Our Mission MTC

Our Mission

It is MTC’s belief that a person needs to both learn Torah and live Torah. At MTC, we put this belief into practice by learning Torah in the mornings and evenings, and living Torah in the afternoons. Our students take what they learn and apply it in their afternoon work with the children of Bet Elazraki. Through the power of giving to another, a person enhances their own personal spiritual growth. As our students quickly grow to appreciate, these two values of Torah and Chessed are mutually enhancing.

Family Atmosphere

At MTC, we pride ourselves on our unique family atmosphere. Our dedicated staff work around the clock to ensure that the students receive the care and attention that they need and deserve. The high staff-to-student ratio means that there is always someone available to offer support and guidance to the students. Students and teachers are regularly found learning together in chavrutot and discussing important topics – at MTC our doors are always open. The warm, caring and supportive atmosphere allows each student to grow at her own pace and in a most real and profound way. Our family environment creates strong connections which continue long after our students have left the walls of MTC.

What awaits you at MTC?

Throughout your year at MTC, you will strengthen your connection to three core pillars of Judaism:
You will spend your mornings and evenings learning about – and engaging with – your Jewish tradition. Through stimulating classes and discussions with expert educators, you will gain a better understanding of yourself and your Judaism. The unique atmosphere at MTC and Bet Elazraki will enable you to grow spiritually while the combination of classes and time learning in the Bet Midrash will arm you with the skills necessary to build a life of continued Torah learning and Avodat Hashem.
Your afternoons will be dedicated to the children of the Bet Elazraki children’s home where you will become their counselors, mentors, and friends. Through playing, helping and working with these special children, you will truly be living what you learn. You will develop a deep connection with them, become an integral part of their lives and experience the amazing feeling of helping another. You will learn the power of giving – and that giving is really receiving.
You will experience the land like never before. Through fun and exciting tiyulim, your learning will come alive and you will deepen your appreciation of our nation’s past, present and future. We will experience numerous shabbatonim together in communities across the country, providing a window into the beautiful tapestry of Israeli society. At Bet Elazraki, you will be working alongside 50 benot sherut – Israeli girls your age spending their year in national service – who will introduce you to Israeli culture and quickly become your friends.
