MEHANEKHET

At Ma’ayanot, we believe in creating a generation of young women who can achieve and contribute. Through our advisory program, Mehanekhet, our students engage in thoughtful discussions in a safe and nurturing environment which facilitates social, emotional, and religious growth. With a faculty advisor (mehanekhet), students reflect on topics that are meaningful and relevant to their lives as young Jewish women in the twenty-first century. These discussions help our students prepare for the future. The environment is supportive, fostering teacher-student relationships that allow students to find meaning and connection.

Examples of topics discussed include:

• Friendship
• Adjusting to high school
• Balancing work loads
• Study skills
• Perceptions of beauty
• Assertiveness
• College & Israel
• Health & wellness
• Preparing for the future
