EYAHT
EYAHT
School in Jerusalem
EYAHT (Hebrew: א.י.ה.ת., an acronym for the phrase, אשה יראת ה' היא תתהלל, Eesha Yirat Adonoy Hi Tithallal, "A woman who fears God, she shall be praised", Proverbs 31:30),[1] was a full-time college for advanced Jewish learning for women in Jerusalem.
Geared to unaffiliated, college-educated and professional women aged 22–30[2] from English-speaking countries, EYAHT introduced women to the basics of Orthodox Judaism and encouraged them to integrate it into their lives.[3] Most of its students became baalot teshuva ("returnees to the faith"). EYAHT has over 2,000 alumnae.[4]
