They sleep at Beit Nativ, they spend their weekends with the Nativ group, and they go on trips with the rest of the group. The only difference is that instead of learning at Hebrew University these six students spend their days immersed in the classic Jewish texts. Together with the rest of the Yeshiva students, these students engage themselves completely in the study of Judaism. The main focus of the Conservative Yeshiva's program is Talmud. Four full mornings a week are dedicated to working through the discussions of the Rabbis, all in the original Hebrew and Aramaic.
Tutors help students acquire basic vocabulary and textual skills.
These havrutot sit and study for up to two and a half hours a morning. After that, larger groups meet where a teacher clarifies what they may have missed and shares further insights. This is called shiur . The Talmud classes are held together with the rest of the students of the Conservative Yeshiva. This offers the Nativers the challenge of studying with others who are older than them, most of them college graduates.
