Three weeks of intensive text-based learning for women of all ages and backgrounds Strengthen you connection to Torah and Eretz Yisrael Full- and Part-time programs available. Special Features:
What are the limits of parental respect, especially when it inhibits my growth as an individual? On the other hand, how do I teach my child obedience while showing love at the same time? And how should my relationship with my husband express our unique roles in a way that we both feel satisfied? How do I obey the commandment to love every Jew when there are people whom I find difficult to love? We will examine models of relationships, through the prism of the Bible and Talmud, starting from the very day man and woman were created and throughout Jewish history. We will analyze halachik sources that guide us through relationships with family, friends, teachers and students, and neighbors. Through Chasidut, mussar and philosophical writings we will investigate the different Jewish approaches to building these relationships in a Torah way. Classes at Nishmat are engaging and interactive and many include time for guided independent learning with chavrutot (study partners). Classes include Chumash, Nach, Gemara, Halacha and Jewish Thought. Beginners, intermediate and advanced tracks are offered in order for you advance personally at your own level and acquire the skills you need to continue your learning and spiritual growth.

Each meal will be spent at a different teacher's home where we will taste of their Torah as well as their food! The following Shabbat is left open for you to explore on your own and to visit friends and families. We can also help find places for people to go for Shabbat for those who need. For the final Shabbat of the program, we will travel out of Jerusalem. We begin the weekend with a tiyul, and then spend Shabbat in a beautiful pastoral location. The selected area is particularly beautiful in the summer, and the Shabbat is a wonderful way to see other parts of Israel. Weekday Activities
