Going Pro in Torah with Rebbetzin Yehudis Golshevsky
Real Women, Real Torah
Intro
Padasa introduces Real Women, Real Torah and welcomes Rebbetzin Yehudis Golshevsky to the show.
What does it look like to move from dabbling in Torah to making it your identity? What does it mean to move from an interested layperson to a ‘professional’ of Torah learning?
In this powerful episode, Rebbetzin Golshevsky shares about her journey doing just that. From her early education to the pivotal shifts that shaped her learning, we trace the journey of one frum woman who turned her deep personal connection to Torah into a lifelong mission.
She explores the challenges she faced along the way, the birth of Shiviti, and how Torah learning continues to shape her as a teacher, mother, friend, and leader. We also take a deep dive into one of Rebbetzin Golshevsky’s personal passions: pnimiyus haTorah. We explore practical suggestions for engaging with the deeper parts of Torah in a meaningful way and how we can integrate its messages into our lives.
This episode is a fascinating exploration of what it means to build a life around Torah — not just as a source of inspiration, but as a core identity.
