Our Mission

To reach out and guide the Jewish leaders of tomorrow; to inspire Jewish youth no matter their level of observance by connecting them to their profound and rich heritage.

About Us

Aish Hatorah South Africa, operating in Johannesburg out of its centre in Sandringham is led by our dynamic team of young, charismatic rabbis. Using cutting-edge, educational tools developed by Aish Hatorah in Jerusalem as a guide, we excite and inspire over 400 students in weekly classes. We also take students on exhilarating trips to Israel where they explore their roots and tradition in the best possible way, up-front, live and interactive. Getting personally involved with the Jewish youth of South Africa and assisting them in directing their lives is what we at Aish are all about.
