Midreshet Lindenbaum student Rachel Susman, a graduate of Frisch Yeshiva, is one of this year’s Matmidot Scholars – a group of students who participate in additional enrichment activities over and above the diverse overseas program schedule; are mentored in the research, writing and publication of a Torah article; and meet weekly with leading Israeli figures.

“The Matmidot Scholars program has been a unique and enriching opportunity. I feel fortunate to be learning from renowned Torah scholars in their homes, while also delving deeply into topics in Judaism that pique my interest,” she says.
