Rabbanit Shayna was interviewed on a podcast about her relationships with Migdal Oz talmidot and bogrot in the context of the role of משגיחה רוחנית. The discussion focused on teaching halacha and promoting a halachic lifestyle while also encouraging people to take responsibility for their own halachic choices and decisions. The questions also touched on the topics of faith, spirituality, halacha, agency, how questions evolve over time, Modern Orthodoxy and Religious Zionism.

Last week, as we returned to the beit midrash in accordance with Home Front Command guidelines, it was deeply important to us that the sound of Torah study be accompanied by meaningful action on behalf of people in our Gush Etzion local community.
​Alongside our regular morning seder hours, our students helped establish and run on our campus a morning program for children with special needs. Our students balanced their time between intensive study in the beit midrash and providing dedicated care and guidance for this wonderful group of children.
​We were privileged to see firsthand how Torah study and community service weave together to build our collective resilience.
​Praying for good news, salvation, and comfort for all.
