Rabbanit Adv. Yardena Bodenheimer (Cope-Yossef) has spent years learning, teaching,

and leading Torah learning programming at Matan and other institutions.

Sixteen years ago she founded the first women’s daf yomi group at Matan,

a group she still teaches until this day.

She was one of the founders and directors of the Matan Advanced Talmudic Institute.

In this moving conversation, she speaks about her childhood and the Jewish education she received in Chicago,

her unique career in the Jewish Law department at the Ministry of Justice, and her work as a fertility advisor.
