      "Women Sages" Awarded


      The second annual assembly of the Women Sages (Hachamot Nashim) project of the Bnei Akiva yeshiva centers took place on Thursday at the Tsapira girls high school. The project is the girls' version of the Encourage Torah (Yagdil Torah) program for boys who study beyond assigned hours.

      Prizes were awarded for those who scored above 80 in monthly exams on "Collected Works 2" from the series "Pearls of Halacha (Jewish Law)" by Rabbi Eliezer Melamed. This year, participants will study "Women's Prayers (Tefillat Nashim)" from the same series.
