How do you empower yourself to make difficult decisions? Let's face it - our lives are confusing and challenging. Being a modern Jewish woman is no small matter. It takes conviction, dignity, resilience and grace. More than anything else, it requires a solid inner core. Life is not black and white. We need to make nuanced choices. There are countless options to weigh and many considerations to keep in mind. Where do we draw strength from? Is there a perfect balance? How do we discover it? Where do we find the tools to succeed at our position in life? We can find the answers by exploring the worlds of Jewish women throughout history. The Rosh Chodesh Society’s upcoming course, One Wow Moment, takes a peek at pivotal moments of personal decision within the lives of seven biblical women. Each class delves into the psychology and internal strength that propelled each woman across chasms of doubt and timidity. This course is a valuable and intriguing guide to exerting courage, empowerment, and deeper purpose when faced with unexpected opportunity, personal dilemmas, and moments of consequential decision. One Wow Moment shows us how 7 Biblical women used one moment to change everything - and how we can do the same!
