Courses
If you are in middle school or high school, come learn with us this summer. If you are a college student and beyond, check out our summer Kollel in New York City, our vibrant Beit Midrash programming in Israel, and, of course, for year-round study, Yeshivat Drisha.
This year’s Rudoff memorial shiur will explore parallels between the “Three Weeks” of Bein HaMetzarim and the “Three Weeks” between Rosh HaShana and Shemini Atzeret. We will explore sources in Tanach, Talmud, Parshanut and Chassidut to provide light and inspiration as we reflect on messages of Oct. 7, nearly two years later.
Drisha is excited to bring Rabbi Dr. Joshua Kulp’s popular “Daf Shevui” program under our umbrella!
Daf Shevui is a daily Talmud study program in which participants learn one daf (folio) of Talmud each week—a more manageable pace than the traditional Daf Yomi cycle. This program is ideal for both beginners seeking to enter the world of Talmud study and advanced learners looking to engage with the Talmud daily, while joining a vibrant community of students learning together at the same steady pace. We will begin September 7th with the second chapter of Bava Metzia, a chapter that address lost objects. Complete translation and explication for the first chapter is available upon request.
There are two ways to sign up:
Option 1: Emails ($5/mo). Six days a week an email will be sent that includes the original Hebrew/Aramaic, a translation and an explanation of one-sixth of the Daf being learned that week. In this way, the recipient will join hundreds of other students participating in this program on a daily basis.
Option 2: Live shiur and emails ($36/mo). In addition to the emails, participants will have the opportunity to join a once a week live, participatory, Zoom class with Rabbi Joshua Kulp during which the Daf will be reviewed, additional perspectives will be provided and questions addressed.
Join Rabbi Dr. Joshua Kulp for Mishnah Menachot every Sunday! This course is a presentation of the Rifka Rosenwein Z”L Mishnah Division. And join Drisha’s Mishna Yomit community! Working with the most standard daily mishnah study schedule, you will join a group of committed learners who dedicate time each day for the study of 1-2 mishnayot. Over a period of weeks and months of regular study, you will complete Tractates and even entire Orders of Mishnah!
To anchor and support your individual learning, Drisha’s Mishnah Yomit program includes a weekly Mishnah Yomit b’Iyun (in-depth) shiur. In this shiur, you will have the opportunity to review portions of the past week’s material, and to go deep into select elements of the text (e.g. core concepts discussed; how the mishnayot interpret and interact with the biblical background; the literary structure and reception history of the unit) — all within the context of a collaborative community of fellow learners.
Class will not meet on September 28 or October 12.
What’s the difference between the God of the Bible and the God of the Talmud? Who was the last man to see God? And how do we balance love and fear in our relationship with the Divine?
Exploring the omnipotence and vulnerability of God, through the talmudic tale of Rabbi Yishmael and the story of King Lear.

Sunday, September 21st
This two-session series will explore common and not so common halakhic questions that arise during the period of Elul, Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We will examine how to unpack the elements of the “she’eilah” and the differing approaches that can be, and are, proffered as a resolution or guidance in the case. We will explore topics in tefillah, customs, and when to violate the prescribed laws that arise in the real life experiences of Jews, both past and present.
