Ayanot Branch
Nestled within the Ayanot Youth Village, the Ayanot branch thrives, embodying the legacy of the "Large Women's Farm" established in the 1930s. Originally conceived as a hub for nurturing and educating young women, this institution, under the visionary Ada Fishman Maimon, has significantly shaped the historical narrative. Today, our academy operates an immersive museum that unfolds the captivating story etched by Ada.
Within the village, we offer a haven for individuals who have chosen to step out of their homes and undergo a transformative educational journey. Side by side with the integrated high school, catering to students from the surrounding region and the village, our agricultural expanse encompasses a poultry coop, goat shed, equestrian facilities, greenhouses, and a petting corner. The student body resides in proximity to these facilities, immersed in the serene ambiance of our unique courtyard with lush greenery and picturesque views.
In adherence to our commitment to community work, our trainees actively contribute to the farm, elementary school, and high school, collaborating seamlessly with their counterparts from the village. Additionally, they spearhead an independent youth movement in the village during the evenings. Aderet Leadership Academy takes a lead role in organizing and participating in various village events, including Memorial Day ceremonies, Hanukkah celebrations, Kabbalat Shabbat, and more.
