==History==

In the times of Dovid Ha'Melech the Aron was kept in Kiryat Ye'arim for 20 years. The land Telz-Stone is built on was purchased pre 1948 by Menashe Elissar, a businessman who was attracted to the site as the location of the biblical Kiryat Ye'arim.

Telz (Telshe) Stone (officially named Kiryat Yearim) was founded in 1973 by a group from the Telz (Telshe) yeshiva in Wickliffe, Oh. Irving Stone financially backed this endeavor, thus its more common name - Telz Stone. The yeshiva's campus was built on Telz Stone's highest point as required by halacha. In 1977 Rav Mordechai Gifter came to Telz-Stone with 20 students from the Telz yeshiva in the US. In 1979 following the passing of the Telz Rosh Yeshiva Rav Boruch Sorotzkin, Rav Gifter returned to The States to resume the position of Rosh Yeshiva. That spelled the end to the Telz-Stone branch of the Telz yeshiva. In 1982 Yeshiva Neve Tzion moved in to the vacant campus.

Until this day the Telz influence is apparent. Telz-Stone's mara d'asra is a son-in-law of the late Telz Rosh Yeshiva Rav Boruch Sorotzkin. The Telz influence can also be seen by some of the town's street names, Gordon st. named after the late Telz Rosh yeshiva Rav Eliezer Gordon, Ma'alot Kedoshei Telz commemorating the Telz Jews that perished during the holocaust. Oznaim La'Torha st. named after Rav Zalman Sorotzkin's work by the same name and Bloch st. named after Rav Eliyahu Meir Bloch the founder of the Telz yeshiva in post war America.

For many years Telz-Stone remained a small town with no new building going on. In the early 1990's several dozen apartment buildings, town-houses and Semi-detached homes where built. It wasn't until a decade or so later that the major construction began, nearly doubling the population. That construction continues today with the expansion of "The Achuza" - the Achuzat Ye'arim neighborhood.

The vast majority of Telz-Stone children attend to the Telz-Stone schools but some do commute to Yerushalayim.

==Groups & Programs==

There is an active Anglo senior program which offers many activities for Telz-Stone's English speaking seniors.

==Geography & Climate==

Telz-Stone is located approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) west of Jerusalem, just north of the Jerusalem - Tel Aviv highway. Neighboring Telz-Stone to the northeast is the friendly Arab town of Abu Ghosh. Telz-Stone is between 661.8 and 749.5 meters above sea level.

Telz Stone

2020-08-09T16:28:26Z

Macroshadow: /* Pre-School */

==History==

In the times of Dovid Ha'Melech the Aron was kept in Kiryat Ye'arim for 20 years. The land Telz-Stone is built on was purchased pre 1948 by Menashe Elissar, a businessman who was attracted to the site as the location of the biblical Kiryat Ye'arim.

Telz (Telshe) Stone (officially named Kiryat Yearim) was founded in 1973 by a group from the Telz (Telshe) yeshiva in Wickliffe, Oh. Irving Stone financially backed this endeavor, thus its more common name - Telz Stone. The yeshiva's campus was built on Telz Stone's highest point as required by halacha. In 1977 Rav Mordechai Gifter came to Telz-Stone with 20 students from the Telz yeshiva in the US. In 1979 following the passing of the Telz Rosh Yeshiva Rav Boruch Sorotzkin, Rav Gifter returned to The States to resume the position of Rosh Yeshiva. That spelled the end to the Telz-Stone branch of the Telz yeshiva. In 1982 Yeshiva Neve Tzion moved in to the vacant campus.

Until this day the Telz influence is apparent. Telz-Stone's mara d'asra is a son-in-law of the late Telz Rosh Yeshiva Rav Boruch Sorotzkin. The Telz influence can also be seen by some of the town's street names, Gordon st. named after the late Telz Rosh yeshiva Rav Eliezer Gordon, Ma'alot Kedoshei Telz commemorating the Telz Jews that perished during the holocaust. Oznaim La'Torha st. named after Rav Zalman Sorotzkin's work by the same name and Bloch st. named after Rav Eliyahu Meir Bloch the founder of the Telz yeshiva in post war America.

For many years Telz-Stone remained a small town with no new building going on. In the early 1990's several dozen apartment buildings, town-houses and Semi-detached homes where built. It wasn't until a decade or so later that the major construction began, nearly doubling the population. That construction continues today with the expansion of "The Achuza" - the Achuzat Ye'arim neighborhood.

Until this day the Telz influence is apparent. Telz-Stone's mara d'asra is a son-in-law of the late Telz Rosh Yeshiva Rav Boruch Sorotzkin. The Telz influence can also be seen by some of the town's street names, Gordon st. named after the late Telz Rosh yeshiva Rav Eliezer Gordon, Ma'alot Kedoshei Telz commemorating the Telz Jews that perished during the holocaust. Oznaim La'Torha st. named after Rav Zalman Sorotzkin's work by the same name and Bloch st. named after Rav Eliyahu Meir Bloch the founder of the Telz yeshiva in post war America.

For many years Telz-Stone remained a small town with no new building going on. In the early 1990's several dozen apartment buildings, town-houses and Semi-detached homes where built. It wasn't until a decade or so later that the major construction began, nearly doubling the population. That construction continues today with the expansion of "The Achuza" - the Achuzat Ye'arim neighborhood.

The vast majority of Telz-Stone children attend to the Telz-Stone schools but some do commute to Yerushalayim.

As there in no girls high-school or post high-school, the girls all have to travel to Yerushalayim.

When it comes to yeshiva, most boys go to various yeshivot throughout the country but some do go to the local yeshivot.

==Groups & Programs==

==Geography & Climate==

Telz-Stone is located approximately 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) west of Jerusalem, just north of the Jerusalem - Tel Aviv highway. Neighboring Telz-Stone to the northeast is the friendly Arab town of Abu Ghosh. Telz-Stone is between 661.8 and 749.5 meters above sea level.

The climate is very similar to that of Yerushalyim but the winters are slightly milder. When it snows in Yerushalyim generally it will snow in Telz-Stone as well, but the snow fall is significantly less.

==Streams & Educational Networks==
There are several frameworks within which Chareidi educational institutions operate.

===Chinuch Atzmai===

===Bnei Yosef - Ma'ayan HaChinuch HaTorani===

===Private===

===Mamlachti Chareidi===

==Boys==

===Preschool===
The last year before first grade is commonly called ''mechinah'' [preparatory program], as it prepares the children for ''cheider'' (not to be confused with ''mechinah'' for ''yeshivah ketanah''). During that year they will learn how to read.

===Cheider===
Chareidi elementary schools for boys are referred to as '''Talmud Torah''' (the more formal usage, usually part of the title) or '''cheider'''. They include first through eighth grades. Most ''chadorim'' also maintain a preschool for the two or three preceding grade levels.

Eighth grade is sometimes referred to as ''mechinah'' [preparatory program], as it prepares the ''talmidim'' for ''yeshivah ketanah'', and in many cases has an entirely different schedule than the rest of the school.

===Mechinah===
There is an optional stand-alone year-long program, usually not connected to any specific school, for preparing children for ''yeshivah ketanah''. While most ''talmidim'' advance directly from ''cheider'' to ''yeshivah ketanah'', there are many who opt for a year of ''mechinah'', either instead of or following eighth grade.

===Yeshivah Ketanah===
Chareidi boys high school is called ''yeshivah ketanah'' (what in America is sometimes called ''mesivta'', which is not used here). It is a three year program, with each year called a "''shiur''," named ''shiur aleph'', ''shiur beis'', and ''shiur gimmel'' respectively, corresponding to ninth through eleventh grades. The day in ''yeshivah ketanah'' begins from around 7-7.30 in the morning with shacharis which may be followed sometimes with a ''sichah'' from the ''rosh yeshiva'' or ''mashgiach'', followed by breakfast, seder and a shiur, lunch, mincha (may be later), a break, second seder (usually bekius), supper. maariv, and third seder. The day ends at around 9.30 p.m. Unlike in ''chutz la'aretz'' the bochurim only learn ''limmudei kodesh'', there are no secular studies. It has become less common for boys to dorm at ''yeshivah ketanah'' age, but some do, and so most attend ''yeshiva ketanah'' in their own city. On Friday there is generally only a morning seder. The number of "in Shabboses" varies among the yeshivos. Some may have 3 Shabboses a month in the yeshiva, others 1 or 2, and some may send the boys home most weeks with only occasional Shabboses in the yeshiva.

In most cases it is not a natural continuation of any specific ''cheider''. It is generally considered the job of the ''cheider'', and specifically the eighth-grade ''rebbi'', to direct and help with placement of their ''talmidim'' in ''yeshivos ketanos''.

===Yeshivah Gedolah===
Israeli ''yeshivos gedolos'' have a unique culture very different from the American counterpart.

==Girls==

===Gan (Preschool)===
Ages 3-4,

====Gan Kdam-Chovah====
Ages 4-5, hours are the same as Gan Chova, tuition and expenses are like Gan Chova

 

====Gan Trom-Chovah====
 

====Gan Chovah====
Preschool for ages 5-6, its the year before first grade also known as "Kittah Aleph". It's completely subsidized there are no tuition expenses aside for extra curricular fee of a few hundred Shekel for the entire year.

Hours:8:00-1:30 with an option for leaving the child for "Tzaharon", meaning after school program until 3:45. A hot meal is served for the children who stay for the afternoon program. 

===Elementary===
For grades 1-8.

There are two options for elementary schools.

#'''The local school:''' Every neighborhood had a local Bais Yaakov which is made up of a student body of the local population, this way girls in the same class generally also know each other from the neighborhood. Its very rare for a girl to attend a Bais Yaakov that is not in her neighborhood. The Bais Yaakovs are government subsidized and are basically free aside for some basic extra curricular fees. The local Bais Yaakovs accept all the girls of its neighborhood which makes each Bais Yaakov unique in its student body representing the unique character of its neighborhood. The Bais Yaakov in the Ezrat Torah neighborhood in Yerushalaim is very different from the Bais Yaakov in the Pisgat Zeev neighborhood in Yerushalaim. The former is very Chareidi and Yeshivish while the latter is less Chareidi and more dati- reflecting the character of the neighborhood. The Bais Yaakov in Sanhedria in Yerushalaim is very anglo, reflecting the local residents.

Its very accepted for mainstream chareidim to send to the local Bais Yaakovs.

2. '''Private schools:''' There are a few private elementary schools which cater for various crowds which prefer some alternative to the local Bais Yaakov. Some teach in Yiddish, others offer an alternative approach or curriculum that is not offered in the local Bais Yaakov. These schools charge tuition generally a few thousand Shekels a year.

===Seminar===

High school for Chareidi girls is called Seminar. Grades 9-12. with the majority of the girls staying an additional two years to learn a profession. There are no local Bais Yaakov high schools as there are elementary schools, rather the high schools are generally private but are still somewhat government subsidized and therefore do not charge a high tuition Around 2-3 thousand NIS a year. It is common for girls to bus in to the neighborhood where their school is located, many schools arrange transportation for their students.

Most Chareidi schools do not do the government administered tests called "Bagruyot" (like the regents in New York) rather they offer an alternative testing system called "Chutzim". On an academic level "Chutzim" are on par with the "Bagruyot" tests, however since they are not government administered they are not recognized and cannot be used to get accepted to institutions of higher education.

'''Masslulim''': Most Chareidi girls stay on for an additional two years of schooling after they complete grade 12. This is called "masslulim"- tracks. During these two years the girls learn a profession which they can use later on in life to help support their families. The "Masslulim" offer a variety of professions ranging from medical secretary, graphic designing, interior designing, architecture, accounting, commuter developer etc..

While learning a profession the girls maintain a structure of Limudei Kodesh as part of their day in the seminary.
