- Personal guidance and individual study program via weekly ½ hour private question/answer session with Rebbetzin Chana Bracha Siegelbaum, the founder and director of Midreshet B’erot Bat Ayin.
- Periodic testing to monitor your learning progress.
“I took away from the classes so much more than Torah and halacha . . . I learned what it truly means to be an Eshet Chayil.” – Tiferet
