About This Cause
Drisha Institute is a forum for developing and empowering the next generation of Jewish scholars and educators. Founded in 1979 by Rabbi David Silber as the world’s first center for women’s advanced study of classical Jewish texts, Drisha now offers a wide variety of educational initiatives including full-time learning programs, summer institutes, a summer high school program, a Bat-Mitzvah program, as well as continuing education classes and community lectures for women and men. Drisha’s long-term impact on the worldwide community is reflected in the informed voice and active leadership of Drisha alumni and students who now serve as scholars, educators, and role models in every sphere. They address issues at public forums, develop curriculum in day schools and after-school programs, and shape community initiatives that foster spiritual growth and knowledge.
