About us.

The Drisha Institute for Jewish Education is an international, multigenerational learning community committed to providing the highest quality Jewish education for all. Our model of deep and honest learning, alongside our commitment to action, provides women and men of all demographics with the opportunity to encounter texts in an intellectually rigorous, spiritually meaningful and inclusive manner.

Through our immersive programs, we offer students the opportunity to study alongside a cohort of dedicated individuals in an intensive setting. In addition to our in-person summer camp programs for middle school and high school girls, we also present an ongoing curriculum of weekly online courses, shorter intensives, and an annual lecture series.

Yeshivat Drisha.

Yeshivat Drisha enables women to achieve the highest levels of Torah learning by fostering their development as talmidot chakhamim and cultivating intellectual, religious, and personal depth. Applications are open every winter for our Shana Alef program, where highly motivated, post-high school women join the Yeshiva for a tailor-made one-year program. We also accept applications from those looking to pursue learning beyond shana alef.
