thumb|Chavruta-study Midreshet Shilat A '''''''''' (Hebrew: ; : ), typically, is an institute of Torah study for women of post-high-school age, somewhat equivalent to a men's yeshiva; most are located in Israel.

The midrasha is also somewhat parallel to a "women's seminary" (Hebrew "seminar", sometimes "seminaria" ), which functions in a similar form. While the terms may sometimes become interchangeable, "midrashot" are commonly linked to Religious Zionism (or modern orthodoxy), while the women's "seminaries" are usually associated with Haredi Judaism. The term "midrasha" is sometimes used to refer to pluralistic Torah-institutions.
