S.E.M. Torah for Parshat Vayeitzei


Please click here to listen to S.E.M. Torah for this week from Rav Yamin Goldsmith.

For more S.E.M. Torah, please click here.
S.E.M. Torah is a series of brief divrei Torah delivered by various members of the faculty of Sha’alvim for Women.

S.E.M. stands (good-humoredly) for "Squeezing Every Minute" and represents an important philosophy at SFW: every minute counts and every minute can be used productively. Torah must be learned deeply and profoundly on the highest levels possible. However, even when you find that you have only a few moments, we believe that opportunities - like listening to this S.E.M. Torah - are always available…. if you know where to look!

Shlomo Katz at SFW!

This past week has been quite difficult for all of Klal Yisrael to say the least. At SFW, we thought that an exceptional way to end this challenging week would be to have an inspiring kumzits with SHLOMO KATZ on Thursday night. And what a kumzits it was! Stories, songs, and divrei Torah touched our hearts and souls from this world-renowned singer, song-writer and Rebbe!

A most heartfelt thank you to an ANONYMOUS SFW FAMILY for sponsoring this unforgettable, inspiring evening!

SFW's Tiyul to the North!

This week was our unforgettable tiyul to the North. Our wonderful madrichot, Rabbi Goldsmith, Rabbi Turtetsky, and our beloved tour-guide Rav Moshe ben Baruch joined the girls of shana aleph and shana bet as we hiked up and down mountains, enjoyed the beautiful sights of the Galil and the Golan, and learned about the rich, ancient and modern history of the area. Just as important (if not more so), we bonded with each other and the Land of Israel!
