Neshama
Neshama is a group of adults who come together to deepen their understanding of Judaism in a small, informal setting.
Neshama, which means ‘breath’ or ‘soul,’ seeks to provide a space for learning and reflection on issues such as women and power, sexuality and ethics, and powerful women in Judaism.
The group is supervized by Stéphanie van Tittelboom, second-year rabbinical student at the Ecole Rabbinique de Paris and mother of a 6-year-old daughter. A Sciences Po graduate, she resumed studies at the Ecole du Louvre in order to integrate the training of auctioneers in volunteer and judicial. She then specialized in antique jewelry and completed her training at the Institut National de Gemmologie. At the same time, she began to teach Talmud-Torah. The love of Texts and transmission and the desire to accompany people on their journey of life, made her decide to take a new turn in her own journey by starting rabbinical studies.
