About Torah Momentum

Torah from Tucson, gaining global momentum

For nearly half a century, a vibrant center of Torah learning and community growth flourished in Tucson, Arizona through the work of Chofetz Chaim Southwest Torah Institute.

Today, that spirit continues through Torah Momentum — bringing Torah learning to students and seekers across communities and continents. Through multiple weekly online classes and ongoing connection, Torah is shared from wherever we are with those who wish to learn and grow.

Join us — from wherever you are in the world — and experience the warmth, wisdom, and transformative power of Torah.

For many years I have had the privilege of learning Torah together with individuals and communities seeking depth, clarity, and personal growth.

My approach is simple: to explore the timeless wisdom of Torah carefully and honestly, and to discover how its teachings illuminate our lives, our choices, and our relationship with Hashem.

When we learn together, my hope is that you will experience:

  • The intellectual excitement of studying Torah in its authentic sources
  • The depth and beauty of ideas that have shaped Jewish life for generations
  • A clearer understanding of yourself and your spiritual potential
  • A deeper and more personal connection with Hashem
  • The sense that Torah is alive and relevant to the challenges and opportunities of everyday life

If you are searching for thoughtful learning, meaningful conversation, and authentic spiritual growth, I would be honored to learn together.

Join us — I look forward to meeting you.

My hope is to share the beauty and wisdom of Torah in a setting where women feel comfortable to learn, reflect, and grow together.

In our classes and conversations, we explore how Torah speaks to the real experiences of life — its joys, challenges, questions, and opportunities for growth. Together we look at how the teachings of Torah guide us to live with clarity, purpose, and a deeper awareness of Hashem’s presence in our lives.

Learning among women creates something very special. In a warm and supportive environment, friendships form, hearts open, and we strengthen one another in our commitment to live meaningful and thoughtful Jewish lives. Our learning is not only about ideas, but about cultivating love for one another, appreciation for the gifts Hashem places in our lives, and the unique strength and spiritual potential within every woman.

Beyond the classroom, I am always available to listen, and to offer guidance and encouragement whenever it is helpful.

I invite you to join our community of women who are seeking inspiration, connection, and the joy of growing together through Torah.
