Prayer
The Winter and Summer Weeks of Learning give Jewish women an opportunity to delve into intensive Torah study for a week. The Week focuses on one theme, which is explored textually, philosophically, historically, and halachicly (according to Jewish law), concentrating on its relevance for us today. Although all the classes concentrate on a specific topic, each class stands on its own as a unit. Students are therefore encouraged to attend the entire Week, but are welcome to participate on a part-time basis.
Participants come from all walks of life, include affiliated and non-affiliated women, and are ages 18 and up. The environment is warm and open, and there are many opportunities for students to interact with the teachers as well as with each other.
Housing is available for participants outside the NY/NJ area.

Winter Week of Learning
Prayer: More Than Opening the Heavenly Gates
Is G-d really listening? Do my prayers really matter to Him?
And doesn’t He already know what I want and need? What if I don’t even feel like praying?
Almost universal, yet often misunderstood, prayer is more than a (surprisingly two-way) communication, more than a cry from a troubled soul, more than an expression of gratitude. Please join us for this special week dedicated to exploring one of the most powerful tools given to us.
