Orthodox Judaism/Expert Profile
Expertise
I am an Orthodox Jewish woman, with a thirst and appreciation for knowledge. I do not profess to know any Kabbalistic and mystical meanings behind our religious practices, I enjoy understanding the more practical side of it. Knowledge is limitless, while I am limited and I am aware of that discrepancy, yet I am willing to take the plunge to see if I can answer your questions about and within the Orthodox religion.
Experience in the area
Having spent a lot of time studying religious books, I feel that I can help others, women specifically, with questions on Jewish Law, and spirituality. Being blessed with a good memory, it would be my pleasure to share my knowledge with others.
Education/Credentials
I have a High School diploma and spent a year after High School studying in an Orthodox Teachers Seminary.
