MACHON LEV V’NEFESH MISSION STATEMENT
Machon Lev V’Nefesh is a learning initiative geared to women interested in learning and making learning relevant to their lives. Regardless of previous background, all will find their niche in learning Torah, tefilla, works in Jewish philosophy, and more with a new level of depth and focus on integration. Crystallizing our understanding of Hashem’s role in our lives provides us deeper trust, satisfaction and greater quality to living and appreciating life’s experiences.
Intellectual stimulation combines with spiritual elevation in classes taught by teachers who are as professional as they are passionate. Whether it is learning to navigate a new piece of Chumash or a life’s struggle, you will find course offerings that speak to you. Please take advantage of any or all of our summer’s offerings…we look forward to getting to learn and grow together!
