Mission Statement

 

The goal of the Washington Heights Women's Beit Midrash is to create a space for women to learn Torah and cultivate excitement for high-level learning among women. There is a growing number of women in Washington Heights who have the skills and desire to learn Torah on a high level and in a committed fashion, but lack a space to do so.  While many batei midrash are accessible exclusively to men in Washington Heights, including several at Yeshiva University, there are none that are dedicated specifically for women. We seek to address this communal issue by creating an exciting and welcoming place for women to learn Torah. Through this project, we seek to empower women to learn Torah at a high level and build their skills in learning Torah. This program is hosted and sponsored by Mount Sinai Jewish Center, in connection with GPATS.
