Title
Nishmat - The Jerusalem Center for Advanced Jewish Study for Women
Description
"You peered through the glass ceiling and observed the heavens smiling and beckoning above. So, without fanfare, confrontation or acrimony, you gently lifted open a window in the ceiling and taught the rest of us that the sky is the limit if your heart is with Heaven."

Creating Leaders
Nishmat Founder Rabbanit Chana Henkin's pioneering efforts to open the highest reaches of Jewish learning to women have produced the Yoatzot Halacha, Jewish history's first women trained to address women's halachic issues. The Yoatzot have won widespread rabbinic support and public acclaim and are spearheading an enhanced contribution of women to religious life and leadership.
