A midrasha (Hebrew: מדרשה, pl. midrashot/s) refers to an institute of Jewish studies for women. In Israel, it is often an Orthodox institution that caters solely to women, and roughly the equivalent of a yeshiva for men. The term is often translated as 'seminary'. In the United States, the term has also been used to refer to co-educational Jewish studies programs. In Israel, a midrasha that offers degree studies is sometimes called a machon (institute). Some "midrashot/s" accept both men and women, such as the Ein Prat Midrasha in Israel.
