Description
Join Drisha for a special online program bringing together leading Drisha educators from Drisha Israel for a morning of study and reflection. Through sessions grounded in text study and personal reflection, participants will gain a window into a slice of the lived experience of Israelis today. We offer this program not as an opportunity for political debate but rather as an educational encounter—an opportunity to engage with people and Torah, in Israel and in conversation. Ki heim hayyeinu – these are our lives.
