Speaking from the Soul: Discovering the Spiritual Potential of Your Words
Women have a particular connection to speech—the Talmud tells us that “Ten measures of speech descended to the world, and women took nine of them.” But, aside from a knowing smile, what does this mean to us personally?
Level: Beginner through advanced
Text: Various, optional
Note: This class is for women only. Textual skills are not necessary; Yehudis’ forte her ability to take more complex Chassidic concepts and break them down so that both relative beginners and more advanced students can absorb them. Those who have textual skills will be provided with source material to prepare or use as references for classes.
