Yiddishkeit: What I Do or Who I Am? - with Dr. Chava Green

Mar 24, 2025

Chava taught about how a woman's relationship to Judaism shifts over time based on the life stages she is in.

When we understand how a woman's relationship to Torah and mitzvos is a deep and flowing river, rather than a set of boxes to check off, we can move through life with more confidence in our role as Jewish women.Handout: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1DcGqgi7nk3hnWijyoAdsGTyCLTSZpcbM/view?usp=sharingHelp make classes like this happen!https://cash.app/$livingchassidushttp://Paypal.me/livingchassidushttps://livingchassidus.org/donate/Zelle: 205-937-9914https://www.venmo.com/u/LivingChassidus
