(IsraelNN.com) A learning program that brings Torah study to executive offices has attracted American secular Jews looking for a deeper understanding of life. The Aish HaTorah yeshiva and outreach organization sends its rabbis to the offices of New York executives for learning sessions, The New York Times reported Wednesday morning. The demand is so high that rabbis are looking for another teacher to cope with the load.

Most of the participants are not orthodox but have found enjoyment in trying to understand concepts of Judaism. Gary Goldstein, an official of an executive research firm, told the newspaper, "I think of this as similar to my yoga class, only much, much more satisfying."
