The London School of Jewish Studies (LSJS) is happy to announce that its long-running women’s parasha class, which this term is Sefer Shemot: God in our midst, on Monday mornings (at 10.30am UK time), is now free of charge. This week’s class is dedicated to fallen soldier Daniel Bogdanovski and hostage Daniela Gilboa.
“We are delighted that we can now offer students the chance to start their week with fresh and inspiring ideas and insightful textual analysis on the parasha for free”, said Joanne Greenaway, Chief Executive of LSJS. “The class provides women with one of the most advanced textual opportunities for Torah study in the UK, while also remaining accessible to new students. We are thrilled that we now have a sponsor for the class.”
Given that the class has been running for many years, there are a number of elements which make it such a success, including its interactive nature and warm and friendly atmosphere, as well as the opportunity to learn with a group of dedicated learners and be guided by expert Torah teachers.
In order to gain the most from the class, pupils are given source sheets prior to the session and chavruta time is available in advance, either on Zoom or at the LSJS campus. The interactive and text-based lesson always ends with a meaningful message from the weekly sedra.
The class is taught by Rabbanit Leah Herzog until 19th February and by Rebbetzin Lauren Levin on the 4th and 11th of March. This term focuses on the biggest challenge for the Children of Israel, as they transition into a free nation – the ability to live with G-d in their midst.
Rabbanit Leah Herzog is an educator, writer, tour guide and instructional coach who teaches at Matan and midrashot in Israel. Rebbetzin Lauren Levin is a Yoetzet Halacha and Rebbetzin at South Hampstead Synagogue.
