This year's theme - "Jewish Women in Literature: Rabbinic, Shakespearian, Modern" is dedicated to our modern heroine, Prof. Alice Shalvi and in memory of our teacher Zipi Heckelman.

The study day will bring together the finest of Israel 's scholars, the majority of whom are lecturers at Schechter or graduates of its Rabbinical Seminary or MA programs in Applied Jewish Studies.

This unique day provides learning in four languages: Hebrew, English, Spanish and Russian and has evolved into a major "happening" bringing women from all over Israel to Jerusalem to learn and grow together.
