“We have real serious learning going on,” Rivka Marga says. “We want to empower Jewish women. That means giving them the tools to continue learning, which become theirs to access whenever they want and wherever they are. It might get more complicated to continue learning as their lives get busy, but that connection to the Torah stays forever.”

Our Fall semester is starting in less then a week. ✨

We can’t wait for all our visiting to come by and say hi, if you’re in town! Make sure to be in touch with 🫶🙌🌻

Just a reminder from Jerusalem.

“You see, every human being has a soul, a divine spark that burns inside them. Sometimes a person moves away from their inner light - it might even seem that the light of their soul has been snuffed out. But the soul is like a pilot light - it never goes out completely. All it needs is for someone to fan the embers with love, until their spiritual fire burns bright again.” - as given over by the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson

The Mayanot women's program went to visit Mikvah Nava yesterday. It's named for Nava Appelbaum and the women were able to meet her mother and hear about her. It was incredibly beautiful and special experience. Have you ever seen a mikvah in person, would you like to visit one?

For those interested in learning more about what a Mikvah is and it’s purpose, below is an excerpt from Rivka Slonim’s article on chabad.org

The primary uses of mikvah today are delineated in Jewish law and date back to the dawn of Jewish history. They cover many elements of Jewish life.The concept of mikvah is rooted in the spiritual.
Immersion in a mikvah signals a change in status—more correctly, an elevation in status. Its unparalleled function lies in its power of transformation, its ability to effect metamorphosis.
In the beginning, there was only water. A miraculous compound, it is the primary source and vivifying factor of all sustenance and, by extension, all life as we know it. But Judaism teaches it is more. For these very same attributes—water as source and sustaining energy—are mirrored in the spiritual. Water has the power to purify: to restore and replenish life to our essential, spiritual selves.
