Haredi woman from Jerusalem earns prestigious UN internship
Congratulations to Naomi Avraham of Jerusalem for achieving an internship at the United Nations. This internship had thousands of applicants, and it is a great honor that one of our own was able to qualify for it above and beyond all the other applicants.
Avraham is a 21 year old Haredi woman studying in Machon Lev. She speaks four languages - English, Hebrew, Chinese and Yiddish. Naomi is one of ten siblings, studied in Bais Yaakov, and is completing her accounting studies at Machon Lev.
The internship is for two months at the Department of Field Support (DFS) for peacekeeping missions, in the United Nations' budget office. Only 200 people from around the world are selected for such internships.
The selection of Naomi Avraham, was, in addition to her general qualifications, due to her knowledge of Chinese. She studied Chinese, she says, because she considers it at least as important a language as English. Machon Lev, supremely proud of the achievement, has decided they would fund her entire trip for the summer UN internship.

Machon Lev continues to make headlines with the success of their students. They must be doing something right.

You sure that's not Machon Tal? Same faculty, but it's a *women's* school. She'd have to be a very unusual Haredi woman to be learning at Machon Lev...
ReplyDeleteI assume it is Machon ta. the original article says Machon lev, which is why i left it like that. same difference. she is already a very unusual haredi woman to have learned Chinese and to have applied to the United Nations for an internship!
ReplyDeletedo you know which bet Yaakov school she studied in?
