Aish EFG
“Some yeshivas focus almost completely on Gemara. Some yeshivas focused on inspiring the students. Usually one comes at the cost of the other. The EFG program at Aish offers motivated students an opportunity to master learning skills while also gaining incredible inspiration in their Jewish experience. Being surrounded by Aish HaTorah's Baalei Teshuva, together with dedicated rebbeim and amazing programming, a student finds himself genuinely growing in his appreciation of Torah and Avodas Hashem. With a unique group of rebbeim sharing Torah in a warm, yet rigorous atmosphere, the EFG student will improve his skills in Gemara, develop incredible connections with rebbeim and friends, and grow into the best version of the person they hope to be.”
