Nishmat Hatzafon – Women’s Dance Group

Nishmat HaTzafon is a Jewish women’s performing arts company designed to promote the expression of Jewish women’s artistic talent and creativity. The group creates performances that explore a specific Jewish theme. Their performances interweave dance, song, music, and Jewish text and attempt to inspire and impact audiences. Rav Lach Shevet, which literally means “you have been sitting for too long” is a Beit Midrash that incorporates movement and mediation into traditional Jewish text study. In a setting that looks more like a yoga study than a traditional study hall, Rav Lach Shevet delves into powerful and thought-provoking Talmudic tales. Through movement and textual analysis these Talmudic passages transcend the esoteric and become deeply personal and immensely contemporary. Rav Lach Shevet: Beit Midrash in Motion is a partner and outgrowth of Nishmat Hatzafon: Jewish Women’s Performing Arts Company.
