About Ohrsom Student
Ohrsom Student is devoted to building personal enrichment and communal belonging in the lives of young Jews through Torah-based learning and experiences.
Empowering students with the tools to live meaningfully.
We empower students with the tools to embrace their Jewish values and successfully integrate them into their world day to day. Through contemporary leadership, international travel and local student centres, we create meaningful experiences that fuel continuity and promote a higher, more meaningful living.
Being a non-profit organisation, our main source of funding is through donations. This enables us to offer events, authentic Torah-based educational programs and trips — either completely free or highly subsidised.
Torah-based, real
Discussion, learning and mentorship that meets real questions.
Belong somewhere
Shabbos, festivals, Israel — a community that feels like family.
Carry it forward
Tools for a lifetime — leadership, mindfulness, purpose.
Come see for yourself.
A registered non-profit in trusted company.
Ohrsom is a Morasha Olami program and a Masa-recognised gap year. Masa Israel Journey is a joint initiative of the Government of Israel and The Jewish Agency for Israel, so families get the assurance of an internationally-vetted program alongside our South African community.
