Yeshivat Maharat

As the first yeshiva to ordain women as Orthodox clergy, we strive to offer an exceptional education in Jewish law and pastoral counseling, preparing our graduates to inspire and lead Orthodox communities.By providing a credentialed pathway for women to serve as spiritual and halakhic guides, we increase the community’s ability to attract the best and brightest into the ranks of its leadership. In addition, by expanding the leadership to include women we seek to enliven the community at large, with a wider array of voices, thoughts, and perspectives.
