About This Program

The Aish Women Aspire program is about personal, spiritual, and professional development. Combining an internship program along with Jewish identity development through classes offers a unique and enriching experience for participants.

What to excpect

You’ll enjoy immersive Israeli internships in a variety of fields, meeting peers both in your industry and other industries from campuses across North America and the world. The women become part of our family, and have the chance to ask questions and do self-work through workshops on topics such as integrating Jewish growth to family life and how to grow through ‘baby steps’. Our students come out inspired and developed in all realms. The program is run by Torah-observant staff and includes learning sessions based on traditional texts and wisdom.
