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.
