NA'ALEH is a program for the growth oriented young women of the Sephardic community. It is a place for them to learn in a warm and structured way while still being a part of the college or business world. They will learn the Torah topics most relevant to their lives and have the tools to become the women they aspire to be. NA'ALEH is a twice a week program with 4 classes each day.
There will be guest speakers, trips, and programs throughout the semester. Each class will be taught by experienced teachers from the community who understand and are respectful of the mentality, ways, and traditions of our community. They are capable of encouraging growth in the young women of our community in the most wonderful way.
Our Growth
Over the past three years, our program has experienced remarkable growth, a testament to its impact and success. In 2024, we began with 23 girls in Shana A. By 2024-2025, we expanded to include a Shana B group, doubling our reach to 48 participants. This year, 2025-2026, we are proud to serve over 70 girls across both groups. Our participants now come from a diverse range of schools, including Yeshivah of Flatbush, Magen David, Ilan, YDE, North Shore, and Bnot Rachel. This steady increase reflects our program's strength, relevance, and the trust families place in us. We look forward to continuing this growth as we inspire and empower even more young women.

A message from Mrs. Sarah Shalom
Principal of Na'aleh
At Na'aleh, every day is an opportunity for spiritual growth, paired with exciting activities, enriching trips, and inspiring guest speakers. Our outings are thoughtfully designed to be both meaningful and educational. For example, we visited the Mikveh Kelim to gain hands-on knowledge of its process, and we dissected a garment to understand the intricacies of the shatnez laws. Beyond these enriching experiences, we also incorporate creative activities that allow the girls to showcase their talents—whether painting candles in honor of Rachel Imeinu's yahrzeit or competing in a Chanukah-themed cake wars. At Na'aleh, we strive to keep learning dynamic, meaningful, and fun, creating a lasting impact on every student.
Anything you need, we will get back to you within 24 hours.

FEEDBACKS
After leaving Magen David, I was filled with the drive to grow and learn. But transitioning into work and college was hard for me since I had a lot to balance. I was nervous that I wasn't going to have time or resources to continue learning. This seminary helped me set a time to be with the best Rabbis, teachers, and friends who are all supporting eachother in such a happy environment. After high school eveyone has their own schedule but being able to continue to learn in this seminary makes me feel so connected. We learn such relatable topics that are so meaningful and useful for life!
