WELCOME
TO JCIThe
Jerusalem Culinary Institute is proud to announce our recent move back
to Jerusalem. The new space is located on Yad Harutzim in Talpiot, the
center of the busy shopping district just a few minutes walk from the
Hadar Mall. We have two Meat kitchens and one Dairy kitchen along with
a classroom for lectures, demonstrations and tastings. Administrative
offices are located on the mezzanine. Yad Harutzim is conveniently
serviced by several bus lines and is close walking distance to Baka,
Katamon and the German Colony. The school is open from 9:00 – 22:00
from Sunday to Thursday with classes and workshops.
The growth
in the kosher food industry requires specialized and trained industry
personnel. JCI offers programs and courses to meet those
needs. JCI was founded in 2003 and is the first and only Mehadrin culinary
institute of its kind.
Our
most popular program is the Professional Program, offered in a
practical setting and taught with a “hands on” approach. Upon
completing the six month intensive program at JCI, students are given
the opportunity to be placed in a one month apprenticeship.
JCI does not provide dormitories, but we will assist students in obtaining housing in the Jerusalem area.
Graduating
with diploma in hand, students can gain employment as sous-chefs,
caterers, small business proprietors or a host of other industry
related positions. JCI offers short term courses throughout the
year for culinary enthusiasts based on diverse and popular culinary
topics from ethnic cuisines to specific patisserie techniques.
