Sanctity of a Jewish Marriage

Mrs. Daphne Hanson

Being a wife and mother in today’s world is not what it used to be. The challenges are many and the outside world pushes harder than ever before to get into our batei mikdash. How can I fortify my home, my family and myself from the strong winds that threaten to blow us astray, and still retain the balance of living as a Jewish woman in the 21st Century?

Practical Halacha II

Rabbi Shimon Taub

His engaging and practical Halacha class will explore a variety of important topics that are relevant to our everyday lives. We will learn about Shemiras Halashon, Shabbos, Tefillah, Tzedakah, Basar V’Chalav, Yomim Tovim, and many other areas of Halacha and Jewish living. The goal of the class is to make Halacha meaningful, relatable, and applicable, giving students a deeper understanding of the halachos while showing how they connect to real-life situations. Through discussion, examples, and practical scenarios, we will explore not only what the halacha is, but also the values and ideas behind it.

Mesilas Yesharim II

Rabbi Meir Simcha Sperling

An in-depth analysis of the holy words of the Mesilas Yesharim. Together we gain a clear understanding of what our purpose is in Hashem’s world and find clarity and meaning in every aspect of our life.

Derech Hashem II

Rabbi Mordechai Twerski

Derech Hashem, written by the Ramchal, is one of the most organized overviews of Torah Hashkafa ever written. The Ramchal was a brilliant thinker and a deeply accepted mekubal. Therefore, Derech Hashem has tremendous depth as well as a clear understanding of the Torah. The English translation by Rav Aryeh Kaplan matches the text and his footnotes are brilliant.

In addition, we will be learning concepts and sections from Tanya, the essential insights of Chassidus.

Tefilla

Mrs. Honey Hamra

Working with classic and contemporary sources such as: 

• Shemoneh Esrei by R' Zev Leff

•  Arise and Sing by R' Yisroel Besser

• ⁠Rigshei Lev by R' Menachem Nissel

• Tefillah by R' Avigdor Miller

Our tefillah course takes our Shana Beis students on a journey, focusing on practical and relevant explanations and understanding of our daily brachos and shemoneh esrei. With a deeper concentration on our tefillos, our goal is to transform tefilla from something we do by rote to living a life of daily connection to the Ribono Shel Olam.

Machshava Milestones

Rabbi Dovid Goldshteyn

Take a journey through some of the most powerful thinkers in Jewish history, showing how their teachings impacted how we think about the Torah, Hashem, our purpose, etc. The girls will walk away with an appreciation of what we believe and how we come to believe it.

Middos

Mrs. Rivka Baila Srebro

One of the most fundamental reasons we are in this world is to work on our middos.  In this class, we will explore many different Middos in depth. We will focus on understanding ourselves and how to refine our character. We will follow the Sefer Olam Hammiddos as our guide and create an interactive Vaad style setting as we connect and discuss Middos in a practical, applicable, and current way.

Parenting, Chinuch, & Relationships II

Rabbi Gil Frieman

Starting from the sources of Chazal through practical applications, we will create a workable paradigm for being a successful parent, life partner and mentor for your children, your family and yourself.

Connections

Mrs. Bruchie Fischman

Throughout the course, students engage in meaningful discussions and practical exercises aimed at enhancing their understanding of themselves and their place in the world. Mrs. Fischman provides a step-by-step guide on building self-worth and self-esteem, fostering healthy communication in relationships, understanding the concept of ego, and exploring the dynamics of nature vs. nurture in personality development.

Bitachon

Rabbi Yehuda Stern

This class will explore the Beis HaLevi’s teachings on Bitachon—what it truly means to trust in Hashem and how that trust can shape the way we approach the challenges and uncertainties of everyday life. Through studying the Beis HaLevi’s words, we will develop a deeper understanding of the relationship between Emunah, Bitachon, hishtadlus, and worry, with an emphasis on making these timeless ideas practical and relevant to our lives.

Halacha II

Rabbi Uri Nahum

Straightforward practical Halacha that teaches the “what” as well as the “why” of Jewish life. A wide range of Halachos are covered, including, Hilchos Yichud, Kosher kitchen, & Brachos.
