Shana Tova from Sha’alvim for Women

We wish you and your family a growth-filled Shana Tova that brings only health and spiritual and personal growth with peace for all of Klal Yisrael.

G-d willing this will be the year where we as a nation experience true inner and outer peace, an in-gathering of the exiles, and the release of Gilad Schalit and all other prisoners.

יְהִי רָצון מִלְפָניך ה' אֱלוקֵינו ואֱלקֵי אַבותֵינו שֶׁתְּהֵא הַשָּׁנָה הַזֹּאת הַבָּאָה עָלֵינוּ וְעַל כָּל עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל קֵץ וְתַכְלִית לְשָׁבֵי עַמְּךָ בֵּית יִשְׂרָאֵל וְעֵת סוֹף לְגָלוּתֵנוּ ולְאֶבלֵינו וְאֲחַרִית טוב לִימֵי עָנְיֵנו ומְרודֵנו...

SFW Faculty Highlight: Rabbi Yakov Haber

At Sha’alvim for Women, we are very proud of our incredible faculty. From time to time on the blog, we highlight some of these SFW tremendous mechanchim and mechanchot.

Rabbi Yakov Haber is known for the clarity of presentation and dynamic teaching style that he brings to his in-depth halacha shiurim. An enthusiastic educator, he comes to SFW with a decade of expertise in high-level Torah education at Yeshiva University: as a rebbe in YU´s Stone Beit Midrash Program; as coordinator of the practical halacha learning program at RIETS; and as a teacher of Halacha, Jewish thought, and prayer at Stern College for Women. After learning at Israel´s Yeshivat Kerem B´Yavneh and pursuing a master's degree in Computer Science, he was a fellow at YU´s prestigious and challenging Gruss Kollel Elyon. Rabbi Haber, his wife and children made aliya in 2007 and live in Ramat Beit Shemesh.
