Nishmat is the center of advanced Jewish Women’s learning in Jerusalem founded in 1990 by Rabbanit Chana Henkin.
Situated in its beautiful campus in Jerusalem’s Pat neighborhood, south of Katamon, Nishmat has become a world center for women’s scholarship, leadership, and social responsibility, and a world leader in paving a new path for women in Jewish life. Ten years after its founding, Nishmat created the new religious role of Yoatzot Halacha, women halachic advisors, opening the way for women in religious leadership.
Nishmat offers one year programs, advanced learning programs and summer programs for women from across the world.
