In short
Feminine Rising is a seven part masterclass on the feminine dimensions of Judaism: the Hebrew calendar, Rosh Chodesh, Shabbat and women's cycles. This opening piece sets out its claim, drawn from the Talmud and Midrash, that the Jewish people were redeemed from Egypt in the merit of righteous women and will be redeemed again in their merit.
Feminine Rising is a masterclass for women who are ready to reclaim the inner wisdom of their tradition. We’re just getting started.
Every Women is A Queen
Not because she is better than anyone else.
Not because she stands above the crowd or demands to be served.
But because she has the audacity - to step into her own power.
When I first started calling myself
Queen Yarin
, people raised an eyebrow.
Some didn’t understand it.
Some were uncomfortable.
And I get it - we’ve been conditioned to shrink, to qualify, to make ourselves palatable.
But here’s what I’ve come to know: when a woman truly steps into her power, she gives every other woman around her permission to do the same.
You are the queen of your own life. Not a supporting character. The queen.
Ask yourself this week:
Where am I playing small - not out of genuine humility, but out of fear of what people will think? What would it look like to take up just a little more space?
Every Woman Has a Unique Mission
The Torah teaches that every single soul comes into this world with a unique mission. Not a general mission.
Yours.
Singular. Irreplaceable.
The world is literally missing something when you dim your light.
We’ve been taught - that playing small is modest. That shrinking is safe.
It isn’t. Not for you.
Not for the people who need what only you can offer.
A practical reflection:
Write down three things that come naturally to you that seem to genuinely help others. Not your résumé. Not your achievements. The things people come to
you

for. That cluster of gifts is a clue to your mission.
In the Merit of Righteous Women, We Will Be Redeemed - and the Feminine Is Rising
The Talmud records it plainly:
in the merit of righteous women, the Jewish people were redeemed from Egypt.
And the Midrash adds something that should stop us in our tracks -
in the merit of righteous women, we will be redeemed again.
Not despite women.
In the merit of
women.
We are living through crazy times all around the world.
Our sages teach that this era - this specific time - is one in which the feminine is rising. That doesn’t mean men step aside. It means that the qualities long associated with the feminine - intuition, interiority, receptivity, relational wisdom, cyclical knowing - are being called back to the center.
For all of us. But Jewish women have a particular and urgent role in this.
To live through these days with open eyes and an open heart. To stop being the victim of history and become the protagonist of it.
What This Course Is About: Calendar, Rosh Chodesh, Shabbat, and Cycles
One of the most revolutionary things I can tell you is this: the Jewish calendar is not a schedule. It is a
technology for spiritual growth.
The Hebrew calendar is cyclical, not linear. It is lunar and solar at once - holding both the feminine rhythm of the moon and the solar masculine structure in dynamic tension. And once you understand it as a living system, it changes everything about how you move through your year.
In this course, we go deep on:
The Hebrew calendar as a template
- how each month, each holiday, and each season is an invitation to a specific kind of inner work
Rosh Chodesh
- the new moon, historically the women’s holiday, and why reclaiming it is one of the most potent acts of Jewish feminine spirituality available to us right now
Shabbat
- not just as rest, but as a weekly encounter with the
, the divine feminine presence, and what it means to truly receive rather than produce
Our cycles
- the profound connection between a woman’s biological rhythms and the spiritual rhythms of the tradition; how the Torah’s approach to the female body is not restriction but revelation
And woven through all of this: how to face antisemitism not from fear, but from the grounded, proud, lit-up place of knowing who you are and why you’re here.
Begin here:
This week, notice the moon. Find out what phase it is. Notice ifyour own energy, mood, or focus feels different across the month. You don’t need to do anything with the information yet. Just begin to
notice.
The Shift: Seeing Everything Through the Lens of the Feminine
Here is the thread that runs through every topic we’ll explore together:
a shift in perspective.
Not a rejection of anything. A
reorientation.
What happens when you look at your tradition through the lens of the feminine? When you see not just the laws and the structures and the obligations, but the
wisdom underneath
- the relational, embodied, cyclical, interior wisdom that was always there, sometimes hidden, waiting to be rediscovered?
What happens when you look at
yourself
through that lens? When you see your body not as a problem to be managed but as a source of sacred intelligence? When you see your story not as peripheral but as central?
For many generations, Jewish women have felt sidelined. And that feeling was not imaginary - leadership roles were scarce, our female biblical figures were underrepresented in teaching, the inner wisdom of the tradition was not widely accessible. But something is changing. Has been changing. And the fact that you are reading this is itself a sign of that change.
The feminine is rising. And so are you
Feminine Rising is a masterclass for Jewish women who are ready to reclaim the inner wisdom of their tradition and step into their role in the unfolding story of Am Yisrael. We’re just getting started.
