Students at Yeshivat Maharat study Talmud in the mornings in classes at
the Drisha Institute for Jewish Education. Founded in 1979, Drisha is
considered the leading center of study for women in advanced Jewish
texts. As in traditional yeshivas, the four Yeshivat Maharat students
spend many hours going over texts with a chevruta, a study partner. Two
afternoons a week, they receive instruction in halacha, Jewish law,
from Rabbi Yisocher Katz, who has taught in many venues, including in
right-wing, black-hat institutions in Borough Park, Brooklyn.
Rabbi
Katz, who grew up in the Satmar community of Williamsburg, says that it
saddens him to think of the many intellectual woman — like his own
sisters and mother — who miss the opportunity to experience what he
calls ''a sophisticated religiosity.'' While his own daughters attended
haredi schools, he's exposed them to opportunities in learning that
weren't available there. ''It infuses entire lives with such meaning,''
he says.
