History
In 5766, Emunah of America,
in partnership with the Emunah
College of Torah and Art realized a long
anticipated dream by creating Emunah
V’Omanut. This first of its kind program
will incorporate the vision and utilize
the outstanding resources of the well
established and successful Emunah
College. While Emunah V’Omanut will
first open in 5767, Emunah College has
been in operation for 34 years. Since its
inception, the Emunah College has been
recognized and respected throughout
Israel for its pioneering and awardwinning
work in educating religious
young women in Torah and the Arts.
Its graduates have gone on to become
gifted artists, graphic designers and
Jewish educators contributing to all
aspects of Israeli society. The College
grants a Bachelors of Education degree
and is recognized by the Israeli Ministry
of Education as an institute of higher
academic learning.
Philosophy
Emunah V’Omanut strives
to help its students live inspired religious
lives. Through the development of
multiple modalities – mind, heart and
expression – students can bring all of
their youthful vitality into the service of
Hashem. Thus we stress developing our
minds through Torah study, our creative
capacity through artistic expression,
emotional depth through reflective study
in a nurturing environment and a vibrant
appreciation of G-d’s wondrous world
through a developed aesthetic sense.
We are a religious Zionist program.
Students will enjoy a joyful and
inspiring Yom Haatzmaut and Yom
Yerushalyim celebrations.
We encourage our students to
continue their studies in an environment
conducive to continual Torah education.
We also recognize that some of our students will continue in their pursuit
of the arts in a variety of institutions
including secular universities and
programs. We see these studies as
complex as the study of art in a secular
environment can present both overt and
covert challenges to religious sensibilities. Therefore, Emunah V’Omanut will fortify
its students with an understanding of
the Halachic guidelines and a positive
religious view of their artistic pursuits
