“In the beginning….” 

A new parsha series, “Two Minutes to Shabbat” was kicked off this week by Ravit Kalech – a fellow in OTS’s Susi Bradfield Women’s Institute of Halakhic Leadership (WIHL). 

The “Two minutes to Shabbat” initiative, produced by Kolech – the Religious Women’s Forum – will feature a different woman scholar each week conveying commentary on the weekly portion.  Torah teachings from the mouths of women are an asset to the Jewish community; the series was created to help their words reach the ears of the entire Jewish world.
