Retreats and Special Events

Make a deeper soul connection to Torah in your own unique way!

Retreats and Special Seminars

If you are looking for a holistic view and application of Torah, you’ll find it at Midreshet B’erot Bat Ayin, as you incorporate Torah into every aspect of yourself – mind, body & soul.

Our retreats and special events allow you to experience Torah that thrives both inside & outside of the beit midrash. Incorporate art, music, dance and drama into Torah living and learning. Traverse the hills of Bat Ayin where you can pick & learn the Torahs about the various herbs that grow naturally in the Judean Hills. Learn the medicinal properties and make a special tincture or hand cream to take home with you. Rosh Chodesh events come alive as you unite with one voice during women’s musical hallel, learn the various aspects particular to each Hebrew month, stimulate your body as you participate in a meditative movement or alternative class and share a nutritious wholesome lunch! Challenge your mind with the textual classes offered! Live, eat, sing, play and dance in our sukkah as you experience a spiritually uplifting event in Bat Ayin. Or learn insights into the various fruits & brachot at the Tu B’Shevat seder which is like no other. Each retreat/seminar will assist you to make a deeper soul connection to Torah in your own unique way!

Bring a friend to any retreat & receive a free copy of Rebbetzin’s book celebrating Jewish Femininity: “Women at the Crossroads”

Baruch Hashem, the midrasha just completed an incredible retreat with twenty young women most B’erot students but also some great guest who merged beautifully with us. If Rosh Hashanah was truly a blueprint for the coming year, then this year will be filled with so much celebration and Ahavat Yisrael. There didn’t seem to be one moment without a song on our lips, a jig in our step, and every word filled with love, bracha, and the overwhelming hope for Moshiach. 

We were all invited to an incredible introductory meal at Rabbi and Rebbetzin Siegelbaum’s home, where we appreciated the fruits of Israel, and each woman shared a bracha for the coming year. 

The finale of the two days was arguably the most exciting part of the holiday. One of our students, Erika who now goes by her Hebrew name “Orli” prepared an amazing Amen/Bracha party. As each woman said five brachos for various foods, everyone else listened with intense kavana (intention) and responded with an affirmation of emuna in the form a resounding AMEN!  The event created a feeling of sisterhood, hope and joy for the New Year, and necessary closure. 

To finish the retreat, three B’erot students, calling themselves “Azamra”, performed in a surprise concert with such favorites as Chabad’s version of “Avinu Malkeinu” and Matisyahu’s “One Day.” Thanks to our wonderful madrichot, Nili and Adar, each student had the opportunity to meet Bat Ayin families, to pray at various shuls, and enjoy a home-cooked celebratory lunch by the B’erot students. This year is sure to be the best year yet, thanks to our new family and thanks to Hakadosh Baruch Hu.

Thank you for your encouragement to come and for putting on such a fine retreat. It was delightful!

I was enriched and am grateful to you.

Fondly, Tziporah

BH! Yasher Kochaich for EVERYTHING! It was a perfect way to bring shefah, bracha and kedushah into our lives & our world. I’d love to do this again – SOON!  A truly spiritually and physically pleasurable healing experience I wish all Jewish women to experience 🙂 – Ita

I just came back from the retreat and I’m so grateful for the light the richness and the beauty of the teaching, the incredible women I met, connected with and the healing and reconnection that I felt. Thank you for this transformative experience – Ariela
