Our Teachers Help You Live What You Learn.
Rabbi Manis Friedman
With wit and candor, Friedman will take a good hard look at everything you thought you knew about G-d, Judaism, love, family and happiness. Then he'll mine Torah's mystical teachings for the wisdom we need to live a life of purpose.
Freidy Yanover
Freidy Yanover is a brilliant and provocative educator, comfortable going deep into the canon of Chassidic texts. Listen and learn as she applies that understanding to spiritual and emotional healing, dream interpretation, and living a fuller, happier life.
Itty Kay
Just when you're ready to jump into the deep end of Jewish learning, Kay will crack open the Chassidic holy books with enthusiasm, peel back layers of superficiality, and let you peek at the world (and yourself) through the eyes of the Chassidic Masters.
Rivkah Slonim
Slonim takes you on a journey through Torah texts, Talmudic passages and mystical commentary, conveyed with stunning clarity and depth. She’s also the most straight-up down-to-earth Chassidic feminist you’ll ever meet.
Rochel Holzkenner
Holzkenner’s sensitivity, depth and quiet intelligence are like a magnet, drawing her students into the Bible stories she’s teaching. Or the personal stories she’s recalling. Or the mitzvot she’s describing. And that means you won’t ever want her classes to end.
Chana Slavaticki
Slavaticki a passionate Jewish educator, has been teaching teen and adult learners for over 20 years in Baltimore, MD. She holds a Master's Degree in Education, and specializes in curriculum development.
