Testimonials
The ATID program has given me the opportunity to make friends with like-minded women around my age and the ability to network. I felt like I was really lacking community and inspiration. Going to a weekly ATID shiur event has really changed my Aliya experience
I'm so grateful I went to an ATID event my second night in Israel! There’s not enough words to express the gratitude for this opportunity to meet such friends, to create these relationships and community.
I didn't really have the opportunity to learn after sem so scheduling in a weekly shiur and activity was extremely beneficial for my Torah learning.
