About Drisha

A forum for empowering women to be Jewish scholars and educators, Drisha Institute
was founded in 1979 by Rabbi David Silber as the world's first center for women's
advanced study of classical Jewish texts. Today, Drisha offers a wide
variety of educational initiatives including full-time programs with a leadership
development track, summer institutes, a summer high school program, a Bat Mitzvah
program, continuing education programs and community lectures. Thousands
of people from the New York area as well as from
around the world participate in Drisha programs
annually.
The long-term impact of Drisha on the worldwide community is reflected in the
informed voice and active leadership of the women who have graduated from Drisha
and 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.
