Over the years, women have shared what learning with Chava has meant for them, often long after their course ended. Here are a few of their words, along with reflections from professionals who know her work.

From Women Who Learned With Chava

“I always believed in Hashem, but this past year, through the course, I began to feel His presence as though ‘someone is always walking with me.’ … I have gone from being an exhausted, stressed, and worried mother to being a present and supportive one. … This year of learning has been transformative. It has given me tools not only to heal myself but also to uncover the deeper meaning and messages within life’s challenges.”

— Tali Ziv, a student in Chava’s year-long course

“I had the privilege of traveling with Rebbetzin Chava to the graves of tzaddikim. Chava brings women together and creates a truly warm, feminine atmosphere. Inspiring. The classes, activities and prayers she led were truly, truly wonderful. I recommend it to every woman!”

— Ziva Meir, parenting facilitator

“Rebbetzin Chava is a woman of broad and deep knowledge. I received tools from her that still serve me today, more than a decade later. I warmly recommend her course. A serious, deep and enjoyable course! You will come away with tools for your personal and professional life.”

— Dr. Ada Weinstein, psychodramatist

Professionals on Chava’s Work

“Looking closely and deeply at her materials, one discovers that she offers learning of an excellent level, at a layer where soul, spirit and body are integrated. She combines them wisely and deeply. She has a deep, sensitive and mature understanding of the soul and of the meaningful relationships in our lives. Her work allows wounded parts of the soul to heal, bringing strength into our most important relationships and helping to build a life full of meaning and vitality. A woman who merits to be her student and to apply her method will gain enormously in her emotional, family and spiritual life.”

— Yitzchak Bachar, MA, psychologist

“One of the things that allows a person to experience happiness is building true meaning in life. Prayer focuses a person on that meaning by creating a personal and precise expression. The special work of Rebbetzin Chava Shmilovitch is, without a doubt, a force that increases happiness because it deepens meaning. I was very impressed by her unique work, which connects a person to himself and to his Creator.”

— Dr. Oz Martin

“Chava takes the depth of Torah and Chassidus and turns it into creative tools: tools for life, tools for joyful women, women who are truly alive. I warmly recommend getting to know Chava, her materials and her prayers.”

— Dr. Esti Lev, integrative physician

“I was very impressed both by the emunah-based approach at the foundation of the method and by the depth of thought and thoroughness that accompany the process in the workshops. The approach follows a consistent, logical process that shows depth of both mind and heart, and reflects an extraordinary understanding of people. I am certain that a student who goes through the process wholeheartedly merits growth and elevation, while gaining tools to cope with the many difficulties of daily life. Going through such a process is true avodas Hashem.”

— Rabbi Y. Lifshitz, counselor, graphologist and educator
