S.E.M. Torah - Parshat Shlach

Please click here to listen to S.E.M. Torah for this week.


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!

We had the privilege to hear from a variety of girls as they shared their beautiful, funny and even sometimes challenging experiences they experienced. We heard from all sorts of chessed places where girls workd such as medical clowning in Jerusalem hospitals, Ezrat Avot, Aleh, Kav L'Chaim etc. etc. We were all inspired by each other!

We would like to thank our faculty advisors Mrs. Mindy Hilewitz and Mrs. Mim Schwedel for arranging this breakfast and, more important, for all of their work all year for the girls and their chessed!  

 

Keep reading below for ONE example, from Eliana Block, of the beautiful talks we heard….
