“I’ve been teaching HaKivun to women in Lakewood for a year now. We’ve touched base here and there, but I should really email you every single week! B”h the class is the highlight of my week, and the women find it extremely enriching.
Learning these foundations which have been so well developed is a real treat for all of us. I’m writing to thank you again for the opportunity to teach this prized curriculum. I consider myself privileged to be a HaKivun teacher. Many thanks, and may HKB”H give you continued strength to do all that you do for the women and girls of Klal Yisroel!”

“The classes speak to me in a way that is pertinent to me; besides being intellectually challenging, they have shown me how to integrate Torah into my life.”
“This course brought my Yiddishkeit and connection to Hashem to a whole new level, and made me understand what being a Jew really means.”
About the Jewish Renaissance Center
Jewish souls come in many different shapes and sizes. Igniting them requires creativity and a commitment to connect with Jewish women in their own unique and modern language. The JRC responds to the changing face of Jewish womanhood with programming that reveals the relevance of Torah in today’s times, teaching methods that are sensitive to individual needs and instructors who are sophisticated and compassionate. The women who participate in our programs come from all backgrounds; they study at the JRC because they know it is here that their intellect will be engaged and their souls nourished.
About HaKivun
While a great deal of attention is being given today to reaching out to the unaffiliated, it is as essential to address the superficial connection to Judaism prevalent among many of our youth. The HaKivun program has, and continues to respond to these challenges. We have created a ground-breaking 2-year curriculum where the foundations of Jewish philosophy are taught systematically. Students are guided to explore sources and discover for themselves the richness, wisdom and relevance of Judaism. While we are continuing to train teachers in how to disseminate the philosophy material, we have also developed a Chumash curriculum and methodology that many schools have adopted. The response of both teachers and students has been enthusiastic. The HaKivun program allows our high school students to internalize the material. They don’t just practice Judaism: Judaism is the core of who they are.
