Midrash Matanya

Torah Learning at Moshava

Torah learning is an important part of daily life in Moshava. Not only do chanichim have shiur every day which connects the educational topic to Torah sources, but we also have the Beit Midrash Program (BMP).  Moshava’s Beit Midrash is named after Matanya Robinson, the son of  Mark and Rena Robinson, who was killed in Jenin during Operation Chomat Magen in 2002.

Midrash Matanya is located in the center of camp with the idea of integrating Torah learning into daily camp life as much as possible.
