What kind of background in
Jewish texts is required? |
|
Students come to Drisha with a wide range of skills.
The program is geared towards students with strong Hebrew and text skills. However, classes are offered on two tracks and with guidance from instructors, those with less proficiency are able to be successful in the program.

|
I attend public school. Will
I fit in? |
|
Absolutely. Each year the Drisha welcomes public
school students who especially appreciate the opportunity to delve
full-time into Jewish texts.
|
|
Will I be safe in NYC? |
|
Your safety is our foremost concern. While NYC, like
any big city, has its risks, students always travel accompanied
by teachers or madrichot and there are full-time security guards
at the 92nd st Y.
