Our Story and Mission
Yeshivat Drisha opened its doors in 2018, offering a space for women to grow and become Torah scholars, and to reach the highest, most in-depth and demanding levels of study.
The Beit Midrash is home to a warm community of students of various ages and life stages, who dedicate their days to developing and shaping their Torah world.
Yeshivat Drisha’s multi-year study program, with the personal guidance and learning tools it offers, is the first of its kind and unique in the world of Torah study for women.
Every student who passes through the gates of the Beit Midrash brings her own insights and perspectives adding depth and breadth,
complexity and precision to our learning.
Every graduate who leaves the Beit Midrash takes a range of skills and a broad vision with her which enable her to instill Torah and help it grow within her surroundings: to open the gate of Torah study for more women and to take part in nurturing Talmidot Chachamim in our generation.
