Deep Meaningful Conversations

Spiritual Self-Care with Rebbetzin Dr. Adina Shmidman


Listen Later

This episode of DMC is about spiritual self-care. This means, what are we doing to take care of our neshama? What are we doing to invest in our connection to Yiddishkeit and Hashem? Because if we don’t take care of our spiritual side, we know what happens. It’s the same with when we don’t take care of our bodies, or our relationships, or our linen closets…the law of entropy entails and things start falling apart.

Our guest for this deep meaningful conversation is Rebbetzin Dr. Adina Shmidman, the founding director of the OU Women’s Initiative. This topic is one near and dear to Rebbetzin Shmidman’s heart as her life’s work is creating ways for women all over North America to stay connected to their communities and their Torah learning. Rebbetzin Shmidman understands why spiritual self-care is so vital to our well-being as Jewish women.

On this episode we discuss:

  • How Rebbetzin Dr. Shmidman became the director of the OU Women’s Initiative

  • Her goals for Orthodox women in her capacity as an organizational leader

  • An initiative she’s particularly proud of that she was able to implement in this role

  • The definition of spiritual self-care and why she’s passionate about it

  • The main challenges frum women face in practicing spiritual self-care

  • Rebbetzin Dr. Shmidman’s favorite self-care practice

  • We’d love to hear from you. You can find Deep Meaningful Conversations on Facebook and Instagram, and you can email us at [email protected].
