A part of our Shavua Chazara review is a standing offer for any student who wishes to take on a challenge – to sit with Rabbanit Hanna and be tested on a sugya learned b'iyun.
There is no greater pleasure and pride than to sit with a young student, who graduated high school only a few months ago, and see how far she's come and how her learning skills have improved. To know that she has fully grasped a sugya, inside and out, that she understands what it means to learn Gemara b'iyun, and above all – that she loves learning Hashem's Torah.

Baruch Ata Hashem, Hatov VeHameitiv.
We bless Hashem that He is good and that he does good - a bracha that is said to signify an event that is good for all.
It was first instated when the martyrs of Beitar, killed by the Romans, were finally allowed to be buried. It is a blessing we say today, as our last hostage has finally come home and been buried in Kever Yisrael.
At the Yeshiva, we came together in song, in gratitude and praise to Hashem, to mark a momentous event as this war finally draws to an end.

It's not "just" a day a week - it's a commitment to make deep, serious learning a priority in life.
The women in our weekly Limmud v'Haamaka class are all advanced learners, and some are Gemara teachers themselves. They make time every week, away from work and life's demands, and come together to study with Rabbanit Hanna.

Behatzlacha to Rabbanit Rivka (Avraham) Levin, a bogeret of the Yeshiva, who's joining the tzevet as Shiur Alef Ramit while Rabbanit Tikva is on maternity leave!

Our Beit Midrash Yotzer, led by resident artist / Shiur Bet Ramit, Rabbanit Yael, has been featuring in recent weeks a woodblock printing workshop. Through meticulous sketches or freehand designs, hand carving and ink application, our students' lovely works emerge.

Of course we took advantage of this lovely weather! Rabbanit Yael and her Shiur Bet students enjoyed the sunny day and had their Iyun shiur outdoors, studying the Ramban and Rashba on the sugya of שומר שמסר לשומר in masechet Bava Metzia.

What does Masechet Chagiga have to do with the DSM?
Today's Shiur Klali was given by Rabbi Yoni Rosensweig, founder of Maaglei Nefesh, as the first of three shiurim that will go in depth into iyun into the sugya of Shoteh and mental health in halacha

Even at our Hanukkah party, the limmud is at center stage, when our lomdot use phrases and sugyot learned over zman choref as inspiration for decorating sufganiyot!

Ki hem hayenu, for these are our lives.

We invite you to join our special online program, bringing together leading educators from Drisha Israel to gain a window into the lived experience of Israelis today, through sessions grounded in text study and personal reflection.

We offer this program, not as an opportunity for political debate but rather as an educational encounter – an opportunity to engage with people and Torah, in Israel and in conversation.

December 25, 2025 | 9:00 AM–1:30 PM Eastern | Virtual via Zoom

Drisha: The Yeshiva

Drisha opened the doors of its new yeshiva in Rosh Tzurim in Elul of 5778 (August, 2018) with eighteen full-time students. The goal of the yeshiva is to enable women to achieve the highest levels of Torah learning, to enable female scholars to continue to develop as talmidot chakhamot, and to help women cultivate intellectual, religious, and personal depth.

The yeshiva is led by Rosh Yeshiva Hanna Godinger (Dreyfuss) . Rabbanit Yael Shimoni is the Assistant Rosh Yeshiva. They are joined by Rabbanit Nechama Porat, who directs night seder and supports the learning in the beit midrash, and by several part-time faculty who teach courses and guide independent learning in the afternoons. Noa Ovadia Wexler serves as Dean of Students. For bios of our core faculty and information about part-time faculty, please click here.

The yeshiva’s curriculum focuses on gemara, which is studied in five morning sedarim (iyun) each week as well as in night seder (bekiut). In addition, two afternoons a week are dedicated to study of halakha and two to Jewish thought. One afternoon a week is dedicated to guided independent research projects. Several times during the year, afternoons are spent in a Tanakh intensive led by Drisha founder and director Rabbi David Silber. All courses of study include significant periods of independent learning in preparation for shiurim. Please click here for the weekly yeshiva schedule.
