New Workshop on Sunday mornings – Beit Midrash for Women – Oz VeGaon, Tzomet Gush Etzion – taught by Shira Duke – Learning tools from the world of Personal and Group Coaching

The workshop is taught in Hebrew

Beginning February 27 – 10:00-11:30 am

These tools will help in decision-making, grappling with and solving crises, realizing goals, self-empowerment, etc. It is about learning a new language, intended to help us grow and direct ourselves toward a life full of meaning and activity, and especially, a life of happiness.

The meetings are built as a process with the group and therefore, it is important for each person to make a commitment to participate in the whole series. Each meeting is approximately 1 1/2 hours.

Shira Duke holds a BA in Education and Geography and an MA in Jewish Education. She is a personal coach and marriage counselor in the spirit of Judaism. She teaches in various Batei Midrash for women, has worked for many years with at-risk youth, and directed a pre-military academy (Mechina).
