I'm going to drisha this summer, do you have any advice?
Have a really good time! I donât know what specifically you want to knowâ I have some info on some people whoâll be there (some from last year going again, some of their siblings) which I can find out and tell you over pm if youâre interested. Also, feel free to send me any follow-up messages with more specific questions if youâre interested!
Donât worry about your level of learning going in, if you got in that means it will be very fine and theyâre good at supporting different levels of experience.Itâs good, intensive learning, really lovely madrichot and really lovely students. Thereâs very little free time but good programmed activities in New York. I was 18 last summer, and the majority of others were more like 16, but it didnât matter very much, if thatâs something youâre worried about.While Drisha is non-denominational as an institution, the general flavour of the faculty and the students there is quite American Modern Orthodox (though there were also Canadians, Israelis and Brits there), which can be quite intimidating, I guess. I wore my tzitzit tucked in for the first few days because I felt a draw to be similar to others, you know? Iâd definitely advise being open about things youâre not comfortable with and ways youâve felt different, etc, because everyone was completely lovely about my loud, queer, conservoprax, not-especially-theist things and I hope thatâs reassuring to know going in. A couple days in we started pickingâ ideas first divrei torah (i.e., in this context, written essay-like ones to be collected at the end) and everyone had these hi good, difficult q questions about things that interested or bothered them in texts or in halachah etcâ itâs ok from the offset to talk about things bothering you.
Also, remember to bring stationery!
Hey so I'm doing the drisha high school program, any advice?
:O :O :O :O
bring adequate notebooks, because I did not?
prepare to have a great time!!!! :) :) :)- @mirrific did it last year & may have more current advice than me
lowkey really excited for this summer bc iâm going to be studying for a month with a bunch of other high school girls and i canât wait
Tuesday, May 24 â Friday, June 24, 2016 Participants in the Kollel engage in an intensive learning environment in which Torah is studied with passion, rigor, and commitment. Faculty members incorporate a broad range of approaches to the study of biblical, rabbinic, and philosophical texts, and invite participants to consider how these texts and ideas speak to them. Thrice-daily minyanim are complemented by morning hachanah lâtefillah â workshops in which approaches and techniques for deepening our davening experiences are explored. All participants engage in community service (e.g. staffing a nearby homeless shelter), and are encouraged to reflect upon the relationship between this service and their learning and prayer. The June Kollel is open to college students and recent graduates (graduate and rabbinical students included).
Hey guys!Â
Who wants to attend a stipended program to study Torah and do acts of community service in NYC this summer!Â
Drisha offers two Kollels - June, for all genders, and July, for women only. The study is traditional but open-minded and the people are brilliant. There are egalitarian and traditional davening options.Â
Both Kollels are still accepting applications as space and funding allows. You can also apply to audit classes!

are u doing the drisha summer program this summer?
No :( Unfortunately, English school dates are such that I would have approximately 6 days in the program.
Hi, so I was looking at the Drisha high school program, it looks super cool and like something I would enjoy. Just to make sure because the website doesn't make it very clear, what grades is it for/ what ages attend?
all of high school! nominally 14 to 18 but 18-year-olds didnât really go because most of them would do a year in midrasha/sem between school & college/uni so theyâd be doing a year of learning directly after summer anyway so they sort of just wanted to prepare and see their families and stuff i guess. also there werenât 14-year-olds because they hadnât gone to high school yet. there was one 14-year-old; as far as i saw she had no issues with the level of the classes or any social issues, so i think youâre fine if youâre 14 and want to go. this is all a guess though bc i didnât really ask ages and the grade names donât really make sense to me? i am english, we have âyear 11â etc
15, 16, and 17 were the main ages. but, to be honest, it wonât matter? everyone is ridiculously nice and makes you feel super comfortable no matter your age.
you should go, it is a lot of fun <3
Attn all college-aged followers who are MO-leaning and free over the summer
This beautiful American program, Drisha, that I did the High School version of has an amazing opportunity for you guys.Â
Drisha is holding two College Kollels over the summer, in the Drisha building in New York. The June one is coed and requires a commitment to developing âa program or project either on their campus or in their home communities to advance Torah, avodah or gemillut chassadimâ, and the one in July is women-only and does not. They are both are free to learn at and give a living stipend of $1000. Go go go!!!
