Our Signature Projects
SCHOLARSHIP
The Orthodox Leadership Project (OLP) is thrilled to have initiated a partnership with Ohr Torah Stone’s Susi Bradfield Women’s Institute of Halakhic Leadership (WIHL) to launch the International Halakha Scholars Program (IHSP), a new advanced Halakha Scholars study program for female Orthodox leaders and educators.
The four-year, virtual, part-time program will offer a course of advanced study of halakha (Jewish law) in the subjects of Shabbat, Aveilut (Mourning), Kashrut, and Nidda (Family Purity).
Scholars will receive a certificate upon completion of each unit of study indicating their proficiency in that area of study, as well as a Graduate Certificate upon completion of the entire program.

The curricular journey utilizes organizational theory as well as exercises, readings and lessons from a range of fields and disciplines. We simultaneously work with each participant to foster empowerment and overcome obstacles that block it.
