Join our "Women’s-Only" JEMS WhatsApp group to learn a short daily excerpt from the inspiring new sefer “The True Power of Speech: The Key to Both Worlds"

You are welcome to join our Women’s Only JEMS WhatsApp group to learn a daily excerpt from the new Sefer “The True Power of Speech: The Key to Both Worlds,” written by Rabbi Mendel Kessin

In this Sefer, Rabbi Kessin explores the mitzvah of Shmirat Halashon, guarding one’s tongue, and the incredible spiritual impact our words have on ourselves, others, and the fabric of Creation itself. To join the group, click here: JEMS WhatsApp Group

Together, we study a portion of the Sefer and discuss the practical implications and applications for our daily lives. Sigalit reads a section in the book and shares it with the group. Ladies then ask questions and make comments about the section. This takes only about 15 minutes a day and we tap into the abundant blessings that keeping this mitzvah offers, including G-D’s promise that He will save us from every kind of tzarah - troubles, calamities, catastrophes, etc. Once a month, we will hold a live Zoom meeting to review what we have learned and address any questions and concerns for all participants.

JEMS is a kiruv organization dedicated to helping women live with deeper meaning, connection, and purpose. Sigalit Laredo, born in Haifa, Israel, and raised in Montreal, Canada, after her family immigrated there, is an educator, motivational speaker, and community leader with over 30 years of experience in Montreal’s Jewish community.

Sigalit lectures internationally—in four languages—on topics such as living inspired, passionate prayer, the power of Shabbat, the gift of Mikvah, the kavanot of Challah-making, Shmirat Halashon, Shalom Bayit, and building Jewish homes while raising proud and responsible children.
