Welcome, Ladies!

If you found your way here by search engine, or through a friend, or by the random-seeming workings of Providence, I have a request...
If you're enjoying the classes, please write to me and introduce yourself so that I can put you on the mailing list. You'll get weekly updates of new classes that have been posted, and you'll get notices about events: mini-retreats for women in Israel, our longer journeys to Uman, and other surprises.
Feel free to write with questions too; I like to hear from students even if I've never met them face to face.

One final word: I don’t have the time to go over these and edit them, and I’m sure that if I taught the same material today I would explain it differently. So if anything requires more clarification, please feel free to write. And if I made any errors, please forgive me. “A person does not stand on the words of Torah without stumbling in them first.” And please overlook anything that I said which causes offense or might be misconstrued as insulting to anyone, in any way.

Enjoy!

Tehillim--One Chapter a Week

Here's your chance to start at the beginning and work your way through. We are learning one chapter a week, focusing on the theme and avodah aspects of that chapter. We will cover as much of the p'shat as we can manage, depending on the length of the chapter. I tend to explain the perek according to both Chassidus (mainly Breslov) and Rav Hirsch's commentary, with particular focus on the nuances of the language.
