You can study at Drisha for 5 weeks during the summer, or for 3–4 days during the year-round programs, with other high school girls from around the world. Whatever the season, Drisha gives you the chance to engage in serious study of classical Jewish texts. You will develop your ability to read and analyze these fundamental texts in your original. Explore Jewish texts. Ask questions. Make new friends. Have fun. Be yourself.

Together with other motivated students, ask questions and pursue ideas in Talmud, Tanakh, Hakakha, and Philosophy – with teachers who share your interest and love for learning.

Students and faculty learn about each other in the classroom and during the extracurricular activities. Many of teachers studied at Drisha, and some teach at schools in the US and Israel.

Every summer, high school students from around the world spend five memorable weeks together, building their knowledge and their friendships at Drisha Institute. Known as the Dr. Beth Samuels High School Program this initiative began in 1988 to provide young women with an opportunity to immerse in the study of classical Jewish texts, including Tanakh, Talmud, Halakha and Philosophy.
