Coed Collegiate Programs

 

The inaugural program in June 2010 was the first of many initiatives that aim to engage young leadership in encountering Jewish texts in a serious, intellectually rigorous and inclusive manner. Our collegiate programs attract students who are leaders on their campuses in Hillel communities, social justice projects, campus publications, and more.

 

June Immersion Program   -   May 30 - June 30, 2012

Drisha’s June Immersion Program is a co-ed month-long learning and community building program for college students. In this program, students study a broad range of Jewish subjects including Gemara, Tanakh, philosophy, prayer, and halakha. It is designed to provide students with an integrative approach to serious textual study and community leadership. Through their study, many form close relationships with the dynamic members of Drisha’s educational faculty and staff. Evening activities include a night seder and opportunities to reflect on spirituality. The June Immersion Program includes a Shabbaton and a siyyum with community learning and student reflections.
