Shabbat at Machon Shlomo
Shabbat meals are the highlight of the week for many Machon Shlomo students. After spirited Friday night prayers, alumni and host families in Har Nof and the surrounding neighborhoods warmly welcome students into their homes for Friday night Shabbat dinners and Saturday lunches. Students enjoy delicious home-cooked meals, engaging conversations, and the chance to experience firsthand a vibrant, balanced Jewish home. From Thursday evening until Sunday morning, the time is yours to spend as you wish. Most students choose to go to Shabbat meals with local host families and also regularly stay overnight at homes throughout Israel. Students have spent Shabbat at the homes of generous hosts located throughout the country.

Step Program
The Summer Torah Education Program, hosted at Machon Shlomo, offers a short-term yeshiva learning experience for young men wanting a taste of Yeshiva life. It’s for those who can’t take off a full year or want to get a head start on their yeshiva learning.
Students use their vacation days, school breaks, or time before a new job to join our short summer and winter sessions. These programs are ideal for those who haven’t spent time in yeshiva but are starting to integrate Torah and mitzvot into their lives. No Hebrew knowledge is required.
The goal is to help the student significantly improve their ability to read and understand classical Jewish texts.
