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!

On Wednesday night we had the privilege to hear a shiur from Rav Moshe Lichtman, noted author (e.g. Eretz Yisrael in the Parsha), translator (e.g. Rav Teictel's Eim Habanim Semeichah). 

Rav Lichtman is the father of Shira Lichtman, SFW '11, '12 and of SFW Madricha, Ayelet Lichtman, SFW '15. His shiur, entitled "The Gift and the Challenge of Modern Israel" discussed what our role is in the unfolding drama, excitement and opportunities of modern-day Israel.
