Communities of Practice

Connecting, Developing, and Supporting Orthodox Women Engaged in Klal Work

A Core Community of Practice unites women from around the world who share specific roles in Orthodox communal life.
Core provides targeted sessions of professional development as well as access to a resource bank for each community.
Additionally, Core facilitates virtual conversations and in-person conferences where women learn, share, and collaborate with each other.

“Core has been a game changer! The fact that we can connect with people in our professions from all over the world, collaborate on materials and ideas, be inspired by other people doing the same thing that we are in different places,  is truly amazing.”

Debra Green

Torah Educator and Kallah Teacher

“Now, if I’m stuck and need advice, I have an arsenal of women to turn to, whose experiences can inform my work. Similarly, I can be there for them, sharing the knowledge and learning I’ve gained. This not only benefits me: it benefits all of us and our communities, and it’s changing how our communities are accessing this wonderful spiritual care.“
