ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Midrasha

Midrasha is a special place for Jewish teenagers to learn more about their religion and culture. It's like going to school or a class, where you study different things related to Jewish traditions, holidays, stories and beliefs.

The word Midrasha comes from the Hebrew word Midrash, which means "interpretation." When you go to Midrasha, you learn how to read and interpret the Hebrew Bible, also known as the Torah.

In Midrasha, you'll also get to hang out with other Jewish teens and make new friends. They might come from different Jewish backgrounds or have different beliefs, but everyone is welcome to attend. You'll have discussions, go on field trips, and do fun activities together.

Midrasha is a great way to learn more about your Jewish identity, connect with others in the Jewish community, and have a good time while doing it!
