Machon Gold was an Orthodox Jewish girl's seminary (originally co-ed) founded in 1958 by the Torah Education Department of the World Zionist Organization and named after Rabbi Wolf Gold, one of the signatories of the Israeli declaration of independence.
[3] It was one of the few Religious Zionist seminaries for English speakers in Israel.
[5][6] In the two decades before closing, most students were post high school, continuing their Torah Study for a year or two in Israel; prior to that, most students came as part of a study abroad program in college.
[7][8] The school's faculty included Nechama Leibowitz and Rabbi Yeshayahu Hadari (who later founded boys' seminary Yeshivat HaKotel).
[10] Students graduating from Machon Gold received a teacher's license from the Israel Ministry of Education.
