Mechinat Avnei Eitan - LYA, is a pioneer Mechina for English speaking students. We have created a unique system of education by combining the best aspects of traditional Yeshivot with the leadership training techniques of Israeli Mechinot. Students learn practical skills encouraging them to be responsible and decisive, to persevere, build their self-esteem and use their personal capabilities to the maximum. This is done through special programs including army training exercises, group dynamics, survival courses, treks, martial arts, etc. Through our special activities students receive the life-long tools to help them in their personal endeavors and to assume leadership roles that will best contribute to Am Israel and Eretz Israel. Where better to connect to Torah than in the land and home of the Jewish people? LYA has a comprehensive Torah curriculum, emphasizing Gemara, Hashkafa, Tanach, Chasidut and much more. In our Beit Midrash students develop their knowledge and commitment to Torah. Our students acquire the tools to learn independently, this way they are equipped to continue learning and growing long after the year is over. Students undertake several courses at Kinneret College, a branch of Bar Ilan Uni. Courses are run through the Department of Israel Studies and include a range of topics focusing on the political and social issues of the Middle East. The courses give students an in depth understanding of contemporary Jewish and Israeli national issues. Student receive 20 credits from Bar Ilan University, recognized by most universities in the US. Our students finish their year with a head start to their academic studies. A sample transcript A sample diploma
LYA uses the educational format of the Israeli Mechinot. Mechinot are a new generation of Yeshivot in Israel that are dedicated to preparing young men to meet the challenges that they may face as modern, religious citizens of Israel. There are over 30 Mechinot located throughout the country, and they are renowned for having provided a positive turning point in the lives of many Israelis. Graduates of mechinot are mentally, spiritually, and physically equipped to assume positions of command in the IDF and in life. This is accomplished by a comprehensive program, which combines training in personal fitness, leadership skills and survival with a unique approach to Torah studies. Both military and civilian life requires the believing Jew to clarify his religious orientation to both himself and others he serves with. Therefore the Mechinah's educational program places emphasis in areas of Hashkafa, Emunah and practical Halachah.)
