The Women’s Va’ad is based on the teachings of Rebbetzin Dina Schoonmaker of Jerusalem. Facilitated by Rabbi Judith Edelstein and featuring the recorded teachings of Rebbetzin Dina Schoonmaker, you will engage in self-study, va’ad meetings, paired chevruta study, and personal practice. To help guide you through the Rebbetzin’s teachings is a Source Sheet of references in the order she quotes them. These sources are also to be used to create an affirmation phrase for chanting. Each of the Rebbetzin’s lessons ends with a monthly practice (kabbalah), which becomes your focus for the month. Prepare to discuss this practice both with your chevruta partner and with your va’ad mates.
