Rav Ari Waxman at SFW

Please click here to listen to a shiur from Rav Ari Waxman, the Menahel of the Moty Hornsetin Overseas Program at Yeshivat Sha'alvim. Rav Waxman spoke about the unique messages that are hidden in the "silence" of the holiday-free month of Cheshvan. 

We are grateful to Rav Waxman for his time and we are thrilled - as we are all year long - of the zechut we have to hear from and grow with the wonderful Rabbanim of Yeshivat Sha'alvim on a regular basis.

S.E.M. Torah for Parshat Lech Lecha

Please click here to listen to S.E.M. Torah for this week by Rav Rafi Rosenblum.

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!
