This closes One on One's series on Women and Writing. What a moving journey it has been! Join us each week of Sefer Devarim for a short Parsha shiur given by Matan faculty. We will be back after the holidays with new One on One episodes.

In this fascinating conversation with Dr. Sharon Galper Grossman, MD-MPh and graduate of Matan Hasharon's Morot L' Halakha program, she speaks about her journey into the world of Halakha and Halachik writing as a radiation oncologist who trained and worked as an attending physician at Harvard. This conversation is a great reminder that life develops in chapters, and that sometimes the most rewarding experiences come when we least expect it.

In this episode, Matan Summer Program coordinator Tamar Weissman movingly discusses her love for the land of Israel and about the writing projects and life adventures that love has inspired.

In this kind and transparent conversation, Shayna Goldberg speaks about her motivation for writing and about some of the pragmatic life advice she explores in her forthcoming book What do you Really Want? Trust and Fear in Decision Making at Life's Crossroads and in Everyday Living (2021). Shayna shares modern Jewish wisdom that she has developed in her decades teaching young women in High school, as a Ramit in Migdal Oz, and as a yoetzet halacha.
