Torah Tech New York Join the list
The program

A summer built on one idea.

Serious Torah and serious ambition belong together. Here is what that looks like, from the first minute of the morning to Demo Day.

A sample day Proposed

Mornings for Torah. Afternoons to build.

  1. Shacharit

    Davening together, with a short thought to open the day.

  2. Breakfast

    Time to eat and talk before the learning starts.

  3. Chavruta and shiur

    The heart of the day. Students learn in pairs, then come together for a shiur with a rebbe. Tanach, mussar, and the questions teenagers actually ask.

  4. Lunch and Mincha

    A real break, and a chance to be together.

  5. The Lab

    Hands-on time to build. AI, coding and business, in small teams with a mentor in the room.

  6. Speaker hour

    A founder, a doctor, an engineer or an alumnus tells the story of their path, then takes every question.

  7. Open court

    Sports, music, or time with the alumni counselors.

  8. Dismissal

    Home with something new to think about.

A sample day. Final hours are set with our host school before registration opens.

The arc Proposed

4-5 weeks, one story.

Each week builds on the one before. This sample runs five weeks; a four-week summer keeps the same shape and folds Foundations into the first days.

1Week

Foundations

How to learn a page of Torah on your own, how to work in a team, and how to ask a better question.

2Week

Build

Start the project. Learn to build with AI tools and ship something that works.

3Week

Business

Find a real problem, talk to real customers and make a first sale.

4Week

Lead

Speakers on leadership, mentors on the road ahead, and visits to alumni workplaces across the city.

5Week

Demo Day

Present to families, alumni and the community, and finish the summer with something you made.

Torah

Torah that stretches you.

The learning is the center of the day. Students are met where they are and pushed a little past it, by rebbeim who learn alongside them.

  • Chavruta every day, with a rebbe moving between pairs
  • A perek of Tanach a day, a habit our students in Tel Aviv keep
  • Honest conversations about faith, doubt and the big questions
  • Tefillah that students lead themselves
The Lab

Where ideas become things.

In the Lab, students work in small teams on real projects with the same tools startups use, AI included. They learn by shipping.

  • Build a working website or app in days, not months
  • Learn what AI can do, what it cannot, and how to tell the difference
  • Make a first sale and see what customers actually pay for
  • Pitch it on Demo Day

Speakers

People worth meeting.

Every speaker holds a serious Jewish life and a serious career. Students hear how they balanced both, and what they would do differently. Speakers are confirmed closer to launch.

Founders and builders

People who started something from nothing, and what the first year was really like.

Doctors and professionals

Careers that take years of training, and how to carry Torah through them.

Alumni at every stage

Graduates from the first class to the latest, from campus to the corner office.

What students take home

More than a summer.

A finished project

Something real, with a live link and a story to tell in college essays and interviews.

A mentor

An alumnus who knows their name and who they can call a year from now.

A learning habit

The skill of sitting down with a text, with a partner, and getting somewhere.

A network

Friends from across the city, and a community that is glad they came.
