Summer Beit Midrash Schedule

The Summer Beit Midrash offers a wide array of fascinating classes taught by world-class Torah educators. 

Classes are taught at 3 different levels: Beginners, Intermediate and Advanced. 

  • Beginners Level is for students with little to no background in textual learning. No Hebrew required.
  • Intermediate Level is for students with some background in textual learning, who are comfortable with some Hebrew with translations provided.
  • Advanced Level is for students with a high level of experience with textual learning who are comfortable learning sources in Hebrew without being given a translation. Many advanced shiurim are taught entirely in Hebrew. 

When you arrive at the Summer Beit Midrash, Program Director Rabbanit Navit Tzadik will meet with you to help you choose the class schedule most suited to your level and interests.

Alumnae Testimonials

״The Nishmat Summer Program was one of the most extraordinary programs that I have participated in. The program set my neshama ablaze and invigorated me to continue my learning journey. I also had the pleasure of learning with Rabbanit Henkin every morning setting my learning up for the day with positive intentions and focused intensity. I channel the energy I felt at Nishmat every time I sit to learn, digest and live a Torah learning and loving life. I am grateful for my summer spent there and look forward to engaging in the program again.״

״The highlight of the program for me was to be back in a midrasha environment. It was unique to learn alongside an eclectic group of women, of all backgrounds and ages, who came for the summer just to learn Torah. I recommend this program to anyone who wants serious Torah learning, to meet special women, and a genuine connection and growth experience.״

Eliana Herch
Summer Beit Midrash Participant 2025

״ I had a wonderful three weeks at Nishmat’s Summer Beit Midrash. The Torah learning was incredible from the topics, to the teachers and the students. There were women from all over, and different levels of textual ability. The topics were relevant to real life and it was amazing to watch as the text came alive. The texts were great jumping off points for in-depth conversations that presented different perspectives. It was a wonderful group that bonded together over the classes, in chavrutot and on the tiyulim. Learning in the Beit Midrash was invigorating and exactly what my mind and neshama needed. I am looking forward to returning next summer.״
