I must thank you again. I am sure that youโre schar in shamayim for the work youโre doing is endless. It is unbelievable how much these courses changed my life. Even though I had bH a great marriage with close emotional and physical relationships, there are so many pieces of information and hashkafa I was missing. I now feel confident and guilt-free, which positively impacts the quality of our experiences. I keep referring back to my notes and get so emotional from these beautiful mekoros and stories.

You turned me from feeling like a second class citizen/shmata/feeling like I am responsible for everything and anything cuz if I do this or do that then husband can โฆ.. so always be available if notโฆ.. like a threat. To a human thatโs allowed to feel share and seeing the beauty in everything. The ironic thing is that before it was a pressure. Now I feel light and see it as something I wanna do. And its something I looking forward to. Thank you thank you. Sorry itโs so long. I could go on and onโฆโฆ..Its been close to a decade, and this is the first month I was disappointed when I became a nidda.
I have a nice chunk of the 24 reasons not to want intimacy..
So we started slowly.. 1 little thing at a timeโฆ
But like u say knowledge is empowering!! I knew that getting pretty clothes would be helpful to make me feel pretty.ย And I knew that I should be putting on makeup for my husband and to his liking but could not help but still be under the influence of my parentโs almost 10 yrs laterโฆย But, I had a family wedding last week and my husband wanted me to ask the makeup artist to do a full face. I told her to do all natural not caked up looking, no colors but full face. My husband was SO excited, I felt SO beautiful! (And I then understood what u meant when u say u look beautiful, u feel beautiful) Its the first time I was able to handle a comment from my parents (relatively)well when I knew that I am not doing anything wrong halachically and that Iโm doing my husbandโs ratzon. ( I felt like I heard your voice in my head backing me up saying how proud you are ;))
I cannot thank you enough for all the knowledge, Halacha and hashkafa u have taught me. You made me realize my inner beauty, feminism and chein that has been lost so long ago..
I am so so excited about the option of questions chabura I think its beyond incredible of you to be willing to still go above and beyond.
Kudos to you!!
Tysm for the bonus class. I felt so good as I actually bought this book to read to my oldest daughter..when she was 11โฆ About a year and a half ago so something I did right bH:) And tysm again for all those classes. U r unreal and so so so brave to just go do it even though Iโm sure u have plenty of flack against it. You have changed me simply by making me feel so empowered with all the information. Hashems world is beautiful and so is yiddishkeit. Things make so much more sense now and I am imbued with such a strong sense of purpose of where I stand now. Wow!!! TyH for sending you, my way and yes, you better believe that I will be spreading the word. Marriage is not just about being ok and raising a fam. It is about being amazing and in such a Jewish way, the way Hashem really wants! I am really blown away. You have such a tremendous zchus!
Also I hafta share with you how cozy rosy has made it a major presence in my house. You would Shep nachas hearing my 4 yr old just saying it all day. May the lesson indeed penetrate them the way it was meant to be!
Thank you so much and all the best!
I just finished watching your class and bonus class and I just loved them.ย I have been to therapy and taken webinars about intimacy from a Torah perspective and have never felt so seen, understood or SAFE (regarding a womanโs role in intimate relations), as I have in your classes, and I have only heard classes 4 and 5 so far because I joined so late!
Thank you again and yashar koach.
I donโt know how you have the koach to give such a long class, but HKBH should bentch you with endless energy and infinite opportunities to help others.
First of all I need to tell you that I could cry through yr sessions. Not I could, I doโฆmy feeling of 20 yrs not knowing all this beautiful knowledge. Thankfully u did share a good line with us. โThat was then and this is nowโ which I tell myself every time I get frustrated how little I knew. It is truthfully very overwhelming cuz even though u tell us we r kallahs, the reality is that I bH have a family of 8 children ranging from 10 months to 19 yrs old so there r so many things going on and I can not do all those things u recommend the same way I cudve done it had I just been starting out with marriage being my only priority @ that time. But that was then And this is now. If Hashem shed me the light now and not then, then I will take it now and try my best and thank Hashem for sending it now. It is not too late. And yes, by my daughters I will iyH know where to send them to:). So thank you ever so so sosooooo much! Only Hashem can adequately repay u for the tremendous awareness u r doing!!!
May I be gebentcht with all the best!
Hi! I listened to most of todayโs class and I thought it was fantastic. Originally when you said it would be a biology lesson I thought there would be nothing new to me since I have lots of classes and marriage courses under my belt including a Bachelorโs degree in Health Science with lots of anatomy classes. But this was such a thorough lesson focused on one body system that is often taught superficially even when it is taught. The detailed explanations you gave of the niflaos haborei and the diagrams were well beyond any we have ever seen.
Yaasher Koach!
I also really liked how you addressed pubic hair in class #2. The way you described Hashemโs chachmah made it feel like a special gift that Hashem gave to couples to increase comfort and even attraction as opposed to the more popular view that ranges from neutral to negative.
Really, really nice perspective!!
Looking forward to getting in the rest of the class tonight.
I have been meaning to write to you all week but have been so busy with the homework you assigned โฆ
Really really loving every minute of the classes. You are dynamic, refreshing and fun and everything makes so much sense.
Last weekโs response to the email deluge was extremely validating. It is incredible to be told that the non-himmel approach is actually very holy! My husband said that when I started this course he was sure I would be coming back to him pointing out how we are getting it all wrong. He is delighted to hear that we are actually getting it right! And that bH we are the lucky ones, unlike so many others who are crying out in pain.ย
Thank you for all your efforts.
First I want to thank you so much for this amazing workshop. You have an extra zcus to be able to help so many people strengthen their relationship.
I wanted to share some positive feedback, in regards to physical touch, like you mentioned if you dont have emotional connection you can not have physical connection. I have been working this summer on emotional/physical connection and there are no words to explain the life changes that this made, in every aspect. Be it with my husband, children, and even outside relationships. With my children I could tell you that most of them resisted physical touch, but as soon as my connection with my husband got better, my connection with kids changed and they are all happily accepting my kisses and hugs from them. ( have boys ranging from 6-13) Yes even my very chanyuky 13 year old is accepting my kisses. I see day to day with continuous strengthening from my part, changes in every area. I wish there were more people out there like you doing this.
I am looking forward to gain and grow from this amazing workshop.
Wow, I am simply blown away by all this information. So much I already know, but you have a way of just putting it down so beautifully, simply and with such refined energy (and humor). I have taken so many notes, and already have tried detailed complimenting, being focused/more present one on one with my kids and even when my son got a โboobooโ I placed my hand on top, andย underneath and was amazed to see how he reacted,, and how it disappeared so soon.ย
Another random thing which happened this afternoonโฆ I noticed when my daughter showed me her stickers which she had received when trading today, was a sling that had the saying โThe best medicine is a HUGโ. I Just felt it really reiterated what you were saying how touch is just so important.
Looking forward to learning alot moreย
I just want you to know that my marriage was really good up until now! But just the other day my husband told me I didnโt think it could get better but itโs been better than ever! And he doesnโt usually help much around the house, but motzai shabbos he walked in, I was washing dishes and he just picked up a dishtowel to wipe them and pack away. So you must be doing something right!!
Thanks so much!
