We are very excited to share that American Friends of Darche Noam has again received a generous grant from the Slomo and Cindy Silvian Foundation to fund a fellowship for a deserving couple to study in the Married Couples Program at Shapell’s/Darche Noam and Midreshet Rachel v’Chaya. The fellowship will cover the couple’s full tuition, half board, and partially subsidized housing in an apartment on the Shapell’s campus.
For over four decades, Shapell’s/Yeshivat Darché Noam, together with its sister seminary, Midreshet Rachel V’Chaya, have provided the perfect solution for young married couples interested in deepening their Jewish knowledge and commitment with a shared growth and learning experience in Israel. The full curriculum of each school is complemented with special programs designed to foster Shalom Bayit and prepare them to lead their families and communities. Couples also benefit from the shared Darché Noam community of peers, alumni, teachers and mentors. Dozens of graduates of the program have gone on to become rabbinic, educational, and lay leaders in their communities worldwide. In virtually every major Jewish center in North America, South America, South Africa, England and Israel these men and women are respected for their contributions to Jewish life and serve as role models and mentors. The families they raise are imbibed with the values of chesed, high ethical character and service to Am Yisrael.
The fourth Silvian Foundation Married Couples Fellowship will be awarded to a couple showing exceptional academic and leadership potential along with demonstrated commitment to their Jewish growth and the Jewish community. General information about the program is available at darchenoam.org/couples. Couples who are interested in this generous fellowship should contact Rabbi Yitz Lerner at [email protected].
The Slomo and Cindy Silvian Foundation memorializes Mr. and Mrs. Silvian of Long Beach, New York. They were well known and respected for their friendship, business leadership, civic-mindedness, and their philanthropy. Shapell’s/Darche Noam and American Friends of Darche Noam are grateful for the foundation’s support and proud to be one of the many important organizations it so generously supports.
