” I would like some info about the shiurim if possible, thnx”

Here are the ones I know about in my neighborhood:

Weekdays after first minyan at Riverdale Jewish Center, the daf yomi shiur led by David Quint welcomes women. Shabat it meets before minchah. My wife learned Berachot with this shiur.

Weekdays after first minyan at Hebrew Institute of Riverdale, the daf yomi shiur led by Rabbi Dov Linzer welcomes women. Shabat it meets between minchah and maariv and Sunday it meets at 7:30am. My wife learned Shabat and Eruvim with this shiur.

Sunday mornings after Shacharit at Young Israel Ohab Zedek of North Riverdale Yonkers, there is a gemara shiur by Rabbi Shmuel Hain that is geared to beginners and has several women attending every week. Rabbi Hain has years of experience teaching gemara to woman at Stern College.

Most Tuesday nights at Riverdale Jewish Center there is a women-only gemara shiur led by Rabbi Michael Stein, the former Assistant Rabbi of the Riverdale Jewish Center.

Most Friday mornings after the first minyan at the Hebrew Institute of Riverdale there is a gemara shiur led by Rabbi Steven Exler that welcomes women.

You also might check out the Drisha Institute in Manhattan; I know that they have classes that are open to women or women-only. I am sure that there are also synagogues in Manhattan with clases that are open to women but as I don’t live in Manhattan I can’t direct you.

May the new year be filled with learning!
