EYAHT (Hebrew: איה״ת, a Hebrew abbreviation for the Biblical Hebrew: אשה יראת ה' היא תתהלל "It is for her fear of the LORD / That a woman is to be praised", Proverbs 31:30),[1] was a full-time college for advanced Jewish learning for women in Jerusalem.

Geared to unaffiliated, college-educated and professional women aged 22–30[2] from English-speaking countries, EYAHT introduced women to the basics of Orthodox Judaism and encouraged them to integrate it into their lives.[3] Most of its students became baalot teshuva ("returnees to the faith"). EYAHT has over 2,000 alumnae.[4]
