Taharat HaMishpacha Refresher Series 

Three Part Taharat HaMishpacha Refresher

Women of the community are welcome to join Yoetzet Halacha Shoshana Samuels in a review of the foundations and practicalities of the laws of Jewish family life. The course will include source-study, real-life scenarios and discussion of the unique ways these laws affect our lives and relationships. Join for one, two or all three of the sessions!

Part 1: The Jewish Approach to Physical Intimacy & Expecting Changes meets Monday, October 30th, 8:15 pm @ Rinat Yisrael

This class will explore Judaism's positive view on physical intimacy, one of the often-overlooked elements of Taharat HaMishpacha. This perspective is critical to the study of the rest of the Taharat HaMishpacha process. We will also review the laws of expected menses and be sure that even those without PhD's in mathematics are confident about how to keep a calendar :) 

Part 2: Status Changes & Passing Ramifications meets Tuesday, November 28th, 8:15 pm @ Netivot Shalom

Part 3: Count Down to Spiritual Rebirth meets Wednesday, December 27th, 8:15 pm @ Shaare Tefillah
