Immerse yourself in meaningful Torah learning.
We provide best in class intensive programs, where you can focus on and grow in your learning alongside a cohort of dedicated individuals.
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.
Join Rabbi David Silber for Mishnah Keilim! 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 Mishnah Yomit b’Iyun (in-depth) shiur. In this shiur, you will have the opportunity to review portions of recently covered material, and to go deeper 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.
Masechet Keilim will be covered in three class videos, one each month from June to August.

The revelation at Mt. Sinai is a pivotal moment in the Torah. But is it entirely unique? Join us for a special pre-Shavuot investigation into the multiple Sinaitic moments in the Torah’s narrative.
The book of Deuteronomy has a focus on institutions which will be central to the establishment of a society.
These sessions will focus on king, judge, and prophet as defined in Deuteronomy and concerns that the book raises about said institutions.
The logistics of all Jews making Aliyah la-regel — the pilgrimage to the Jerusalem Temple for Passover, Shavuot, and Sukkot– are hard to fathom, and the historicity of the event is therefore a bit dubious. In these two classes, we will look at biblical, Second Temple, and rabbinic texts to think about the vision for this practice, its actual observance, and the rabbinic “memory” created about this practice. Class one will focus on biblical and second temple sources, while class two will look at the rabbinic discussions about who should go.
What is the right balance between work, play, and the pursuit of meaning? Between individual excellence, family, and community? These questions are distinctly acute under contemporary economic and cultural conditions, but they are also ancient questions. In this two-part series we will analyze the rabbinic construction of the mitzvah of Torah study as an effort to shape a wholesome and worthwhile human life in face of life’s manifold pressures.
