  1. A treat to see some of my favourite educators and academic supporters in conversation

    Thank you for this response to the roots!

  2. Rabbi Becky Silverstein and Laynie Soloman of SVARA: A Traditionally Radical Yeshiva capture so much of what motivated Rabbanit Aliza Sperling to design SVIVAH’s HerTorah (a partnership with Maharat): A space for the Torah wisdom of women* to flourish and to be nurtured and encouraged WITHOUT the limitations of the traditional structure of the male-created beit midrash. Rabbanit Sperling’s pedagogy has always been motivated by the incompleteness of “revelation” without the entirety of our voices included in the interpretations and understanding of our foundational texts. I could not be prouder to be working with Rabbanit Sperling to ensure that there is a space for women* to feel that their contributions to the Torah canon are precious and valued — all the more so for their DIFFERENCE from the traditional male-dominated canon that we have already been acculturated to laud.

    Women*s lived-wisdom is unique. For too long it has been marginalized and devalued, when it is to be celebrated and sought-after. SVIVAH is so grateful to be part of creating a space where we can see that happen. In the words of Rabbi Becky Silverstein and Laynie Soloman, “may we expand our learning, embolden our teaching, and work tirelessly to ensure that the space is created for Torah to be revealed with as many faces as possible.” Growth through Torah will not happen without this, and this cannot happen soon enough.
