The Justice Ministry and the Board of Certified Public Accountants published data this week showing that Bais Yaakov girls were more successful at passing their CPA exams on their first try than all students at Israel’s leading universities. The accounting exams in Israel are notoriously difficult and according to the data, 96% of Bais Yaakov students who took the exam in the fall of 2022 for the first time passed, a higher percentage than any other academic institution. Only 67% of first-time applicants from Bar-Ilan University, 57% from Tel Aviv University, and 33% from Hebrew University passed the test. The Ruppin Academic Center fared better but even there, only 81% of students passed on the first try. What makes the Bais Yaakov girls’ success even more astonishing is that their accounting program is compressed into two years of intense studies versus four years in universities. And the Bais Yaakov girls don’t receive any leniencies – they study the same material and take the same rigorous tests as the university students. After the data was published, Kan News spoke with two Bais Yaakov girls who passed the exam, as seen in the video below. The girls said that the secret to their success was their dedication to their goal, their investment in their studies, and of course, tefillos. (YWN Israel Desk – Jerusalem)
