Over 30 years of highest level learning for girls.
Girls can start off learning with Drisha as they prepare for their bnot mitzvah with our annual Bat Mitzvah Class. After that, we are proud to offer immersive summer programs for middle school and high school girls, as well as year-round programming focused on Talmud for middle school age girls.

Courses
Becoming a Bat Mitzvah marks the transition to the status of adult within Jewish Law and gaining the responsibilities that follow from being obligated in mitzvot. Taught by Dr. Shana Strauch Shick, this five-week* course is an opportunity to think through this life transition under the guidance of an expert in Jewish law.
This course focuses on specific mitzvot that are performed regularly (Tefilla, Zimmun, etc), as well as those that come up throughout the year (Fasting, Megillah, Matzah). Each class begins with an introduction of the topic followed by roughly thirty minutes of time to study the sources with a chavruta and then further discussion. Background in gemara texts is not required.
Nobody is turned away for financial reasons. Email bernstein@drisha.org for information on reduced tuition for this class.
