A SPECIAL DAY

One’s wedding day is usually the most special, exciting day for any woman!
A day she has dreamed of, contemplated, played about since she was a little girl!

For a Jewish woman, she cannot begin the process of coming to Chuppah until she has learned the important laws of Family Purity or Taharas HaMishpachah.

WHAT SHOSHANAH OFFERS

In addition to a structured curriculum, Shoshanah helps the Kallot gain insight and build a framework for this important Mitzvah.

The Mitzvah of Family Purity is one of three main Mitzvot that are unique to Jewish women. Although you have to be married to fulfill this Mitzvah, Shoshanah will help you to understand just how important this Mitzvah is in developing a strong relationship with your Chatan, in developing and ensuring Shalom Bayis and in ensuring that the children you and your Chatan bring into this world are holy and pure.

TESTIMONIAL

Shoshanah is an amazing, kind, and attentive Kallah Teacher. I received Family Purity classes from her before my wedding and loved every second of it. The classes were thorough and Shoshanah always made each lecture relatable to situations that can occur in our times or that have occurred in marriages of this time. Because of her I felt prepared in everything I needed to know starting with preparations before my wedding, my wedding night, and the wonderful life to come with my husband. Shoshanah was able to answer every question I had and was always ready to accommodate teaching times according to my hectic schedule. She is a person with a true love for teaching and her students; I have never felt more blessed to have her as a teacher and contact. She was also able to teach me the orthodox sephardic halachic standing on Family Purity and had great recommendations for materials to have for references. Shoshanah is always eager to help and I greatly appreciate everything she has done for me.

Hadassah (Sephardic Kallah from the United States)

Being an experienced occupational therapist, Shoshanah is also happy to work with and teach disabled or special-needs Kallot. In addition, for those women who are nervous or even scared of the intimate part of marriage, Shoshanah is happy to provide additional sessions to help the new Kallah to overcome this and be ready with a positive framework towards building a Bayit Ne’eman with love, appreciation and respect. Shoshanah teaches both Ashkenazi and Sephardi Kallot.

RECOGNITION OF STUDY
BY THE ISRAELI RABBANUT

For those Kallot requiring the necessary “paperwork” for the Rabbanut in Israel, Shoshanah will write an accepted letter indicating the Kallah has learned the laws appropriately and is ready to begin fulfilling them in accordance with the Halachah.

STRESS RELAXATION

For Kallot who find that this time leading up to the wedding is very stressful, Shoshanah is very happy to help the Kallah with stress management techniques and relaxation skills. Please note that these are additional extras and will require additional sessions over and beyond the basic Kallah lessons.

SOME INFO REGARDING
WHAT THE LEARNING IS ALL ABOUT

PAYMENT AND CONDITIONS FOR LESSONS

Payment is required before the start of each session or alternatively may be paid per month of learning. Sessions last for the period of one hour. In the event that the Kallah would like to learn further during a session, this must be arranged beforehand (at least 24 hours in advance,) and this in no way reduces the session fee which is charged per hour i.e. arranging a one and a half hour lesson will be billed for the period of one and a half sessions.

Students are requested to be on time.

Cancellations require at least 24 hours notice.

Any cancellation after that will be billed in full with no refund. Students who come late will lose the time after the session has begun and will not be refunded for that lost time.

Should the student have any questions regarding payment, please ask Shoshanah before arranging lessons in order to avoid unnecessary losses or misunderstandings.
