Dear Parents and Applicants,
​
Thank you for your interest in Tzohar Seminary. The 2025-26 applications are now open.
We review each application in its entirety using a holistic review process to determine to the best of our ability whether a student will thrive at Tzohar Seminary. Since not all students showcase their abilities in the same way, each application is given careful consideration before an admission decision is reached. Tzohar seeks students who are committed to and actively observant of Torah Mitzvot, serious about learning, and interested and talented in the arts and looking to integrate creativity into an authentic seminary experience.
