Chasidic Insights into the Weekly Parsha with the Maor VaShemesh with Rabbi Dr. Erin Leib Smokler '18, Director of Spiritual Development
parsha blog
Read insights on the weekly Parsha from Maharat scholars.
Maharat was founded in 2009 as the first yeshiva to ordain women to serve as Orthodox clergy, after the ordination of Rabba Sara Hurwitz by Rabbi Avi Weiss and Rabbi Daniel Sperber. By providing a credentialed pathway for women to serve as clergy, we increase the community’s ability to attract the best and brightest into the ranks of its rabbinic leadership. In addition, by expanding the leadership to include women, we seek to enliven the community at large with a wider array of voices, thoughts and perspectives.
