2022 Skill-Building Classes with Drisha

As Drisha prepares to offer assorted skill-building classes online throughout the year (all offerings will meet on Zoom), please help us by letting us know which class(es) you might be interested in, and when throughout the week you could be available.

Our Fall term is scheduled for October 23 – December 15 of 2022. Please note that all times are US Eastern, placement tests will only be administered once our schedule is released, and these classes are all geared towards adults though we will consider admitting teens with parental permission.

Not all classes will meet for the full two hours of a time block, but as they are geared toward skill-building, they will typically be longer than most Drisha classes (e.g. a Talmud shiur might meet for an hour and a half, twice per week, etc.).

We hope to have “false-beginner” level offerings for people who are capable of reading the Hebrew alphabet, but need more grounding in grammar and vocabulary to fluently read and study. There will be a short test to verify that students are appropriate for this level.
We are aiming to have a variety of skill-building offerings in Mishnah. We will have a placement test; students who would like to skip the placement because they already know that they wish to take the introductory level will still have to satisfy a basic Hebrew reading comprehension requirement.
Our beginner level assumes relative fluency with reading Hebrew; the placement test will only be waived for students who are alumni of our beit midrash programs or who demonstrate facility in the skills of a traditional Talmud shiur through interview with a faculty member or documented study with another institution whose standards we are familiar with.
