    The Evolution of Girls' Education with Tzivi Greenbaum

    Join us for a fascinating discussion with a third-year student at our Beis Midrash and high school Jewish history teacher, Tzivi Greenbaum. Tzivi has always had a fascination with the development of women's Torah education in both formal and informal settings throughout the ages. In this episode, she shares some of the research she has done on the topic and discusses these questions and more: What was the common standard of education for Jewish girls through the various periods of Jewish history? What did girls learn? How did they learn? How have those standards shifted over time? What are some examples of women who took on spiritual leadership roles and taught other women Torah? What can learn from the women of the past and how can it inform the way we approach girls' education today? To get your hands on our new book: a comprehensive compilation of halachic, hashkafic, and historical sources on the topic of women’s Torah study, sign up to join our new monthly donor club to be the first to receive a hard copy or pre-order the book!

    Female Torah Scholars Throughout History with Devorah Silberstein

    In this episode, Devorah Silberstein shares with us some of the fascinating women she's encountered in the process of researching sources for the new book we're putting out on women's Torah learning. In this conversation, we address these questions and more: Why is it important to see a precedent for women engaging in Torah study throughout Jewish history? How does that change our hashkafic perspective on women's education today? What trends do we see throughout the ages for which women had the privilege of a Torah education? Is the desire amongst women to study Torah something new or was it always around? How has this desire evolved overtime? What lessons can we learn from the female scholars of the past and how can that inform our approach to women's talmud Torah in the modern age? The book we reference in this episode is a comprehensive compilation of halachic, hashkafic and historical sources on the topic of women’s Torah study. Sign up to join our new monthly donor club to be the first to receive a hard copy or pre-order the book!

  8. Chana: The Paradigm of Prayer with Shterna Ginsburg

    24 SEPT

    Chana: The Paradigm of Prayer with Shterna Ginsburg

    What is the essence of תפילה? The תפילות in our סידור, in general, and especially the תפילות on ראש השנה, appear to have two opposing themes. On the one hand, תפילה is a time of standing before Hashem, of acknowledging His greatness, of praising His majesty.  On ראש השנה, this is especially true: the theme of the day is crowning Hashem king. The liturgy in our מחזור is dotted with proclamations of Hashem’s sovereignty over the universe, and pleas that His dominion be revealed and apparent to all. On the other hand, תפילה is about asking for our personal needs. Thirteen out of the nineteen ברכות in שמונה עשרה are requests –  for health, wealth, wisdom, forgiveness, and more. In the ראש השנה מחזור, there are many passages focused on hopes and requests that the coming year be blessed and sweet.  So which is it? Is תפילה about transcending ourselves, of standing in humility and awe before God, of putting aside our own will in deference to His? Or is it about turning inward, taking stock of our lacks and wants, and petitioning Hashem to fill them? Join Mrs. Shterna Ginsburg, a well-known author and teacher of Chassidus, as we explore these questions through the paradigm of Chana's prayer, the story we read in the haftorah of Rosh Hashana. Click here for a beautiful booklet with all the sources explored in this episode (and more): The booklet includes the full Hebrew sources on one side and excerpts of those sources with English translation on the other. You can download a free PDF or purchase hard copies to be printed and shipped to your door. Learn it on your own, learn with a friend, or start a study group in your community!
