Books by our Darshan Yeshiva students

created and edited by Rabbi Barbara Aiello

Our Darshan Yeshiva students are a unique and diverse group of individuals from all over the world. Many students live in isolated areas where attendance at a weekly conversion class is not possible; others have work schedules that prohibit joining in a Shabbat service or holiday celebration at a brick-and-mortar synagogue or community center.

It’s great seeing my work in print.

— Guided Comprehensive Jewish Studies student

Through these books, several of our students share their experiences living a Jewish life — creating Shabbat and seders, singing and praying — sometimes on their own and other times joined by family or friends. Comments range from, “It’s great seeing my work in print,” to, “I see now that I’m not out here all alone!”

I see now that I’m not out here all alone!

— Conversion to Judaism student

We’d like to acknowledge and thank Rabbi Barbara Aiello for creating these and other opportunities for our students.
