I tell people I wasn't awake until I did the Rise Series. I can't fathom how I could have lived for 70 years and been asleep.
— Chaya Yehudis Dank
You've done the courses. You've read the books. Something in you still knows there's more.
Maybe you're asking…
Why can't I just be normal and want normal things like everyone else?
I want Torah that is thought-provoking and actually relevant to the life I'm living.
I feel confused and restricted by the traditional Jewish feminine role. What is the real Torah approach to femininity?
I want to create a healthy marriage, but I'm in such a different place from my husband — or from the men I'm dating.
Has davening become one more thing on my checklist?
I feel torn between my home life, my work and the parts of me that never get any air.
I'm a sensitive, spiritual, ambitious woman — how do I reach my fullest potential?
I've done so much healing already. Why does something still feel unfinished?
You love Torah. You want to live a deeply connected Jewish life.
And yet, you may still feel spiritually undernourished.
You may carry questions that conventional answers haven't reached. Parts of yourself that don't seem to fit. A longing for Torah that can meet the full depth of your soul, your mind and the life you're actually living.
You don't want another six-week program.
You want to understand more deeply. Live more truthfully. Become more fully the woman Hashem created you to be.
After doing so much healing, I was still searching for that last piece to get the marriage to shine from an inner place. One of the benefits I got out of Rise was that final piece I was looking for in my marriage: flowing, authentic, not getting stuck again and again. It's amazing to see how I'm so content as a wife, mother, sister, friend. It's a deep inner feeling of I finally hit home.

The Rise! Method
A year that changes you from the inside out.
For twelve months, you learn with Rebbetzin Tamar Taback, moving slowly and deliberately through the lives of the Imahot — one at a time. Drawing on classical, Chassidic and mystical sources, Rise! brings the deepest teachings of our mesorah into direct conversation with a woman's identity, marriage, prayer, healing and purpose.
A journey through the Imahot — each opening a different chamber of the feminine soul.
Track One
Chava
The Foundation
I want to access my feminine power.
Track Two
Sarah
Modern Marriage, Ancient Truths
I want a satisfying, balanced marriage.
Track Three
Rivka
The Feminine Experience
I want to connect to the feminine art of prayer.
Track Four
Rachel & Leah
Inner Harmony
I want to find inner harmony and peace.
Week by week, the Torah begins to name what you couldn't name. It gives language to parts of yourself that never quite fit. It reveals that they may never have been the problem.
This is intellectual learning that becomes personal transformation — not by adding another layer of who you think you should be, but by uncovering who you have always been.
This past year has truly been different. I have been listening with bated breath to each session and just feeling so alive. The Torah that you teach has truly touched me to the core and given me koichos to deal with life's challenges in ways that I didn't know was possible. I am so, so grateful — and I just wish the series would go on and on.
— Rivka Barnett

I had a very not-good relationship with prayer. I hadn't opened a siddur in years. Three weeks ago I went and bought a siddur with a Yiddish translation. Since then I haven't skipped a day. I can't believe how I'm actually looking forward to davening every day — and that feeling afterwards that I always wished I had.

In Their Words
Women who've spent a year inside Rise!
"I was floating with questions inside of me and no answers."
Thank you for transforming my life. I felt that thirst but never dreamed I could learn all these secrets that just feel like I am finally back home. No words can describe this. It changed me and the entire family. Thank you for taking me out of my own galus.
— Breindy Roth
"It is intellectually stimulating, deep and heart-warming — and it quenches my soul."
Thank you so much for the clarity and inner peace I am receiving from this course. What you are teaching is so authentic, clear, pure, Torah-based and intellectual, as well as heart and soul based. It is really filling me up in so many ways.
— Baila Fischer
"As deep and lofty as the concepts are, everything is brought down to earth."
I feel it all seeping into my bones and essence. I can't even begin to tell you how much you've enriched my life.
— Chanie
"Rise! brought forth deep Torah to allow for true healing, growth and true rising to happen."
After learning about back-to-back relationships and the process towards face-to-face, I sat down and did some real vessel work in which so many emotions came forth. Allowing space for that awareness, and acceptance for myself, was in itself worth something.
— Racheli Frichner
"My husband was suspicious about this course in the beginning — and is so on board now."
It only took a couple of weeks for him to realise this was IT for me. Now if I'm not in a great, connected place, he'll sometimes casually ask if I've been doing my Chava course. I'm always like, how does he know? But it's true. It's like spiritual oxygen. I wither away without it.
— Devory Rovner
"I see such a change in my marriage, directly linked to the course."
I feel so much more confident to share my thoughts with my husband without apologising, justifying or making fun of them. What's amazing is that now we're so much closer — even if I share something he doesn't fully see eye to eye with, I see how much he enjoys the discussion. And then there are the times where I was brave enough to say something meaningful to me and it really resonates with him too. That is hamtaka!
— Rise! student
"For twenty years I couldn't connect at the seder. This year was something else."
Every year I've had this yearning for a Haggadah with more explanation, but nothing satisfied my inner calling. This year I actually took notes, which I never do. For a change I was able to connect and really be part of this holy experience. My loneliness and yearning were gone. My husband was excited to see my transformation.
— Breindy Roth
"So many longing questions are being answered."
This has been a transformative year. Words are insufficient to describe what your shiurim have done for me. Every shiur just feels so personal — I drink every word with thirst and receive new clarity in so many different areas.
— Goldie Friedman
"Travelling on this year-long journey felt so subtle — yet looking back, I've made so many big shifts."
I am so grateful to have had the zechus to learn such powerful, deep concepts. I will always treasure this past year, and look forward iy"H to continuing to grow and learn more and more.
— Rise! graduate
Who Rise! Is For
For the woman who doesn't want to stop at inspiration.
The Woman with the Thirst
You may have a rich background in Torah learning. You may have almost none. What matters is the thirst — the sense that there is more, and you're ready to reach for it.
The Woman Ready to Question
Rise! is for the woman who wants Torah that is sound, deep and authentic — and also profoundly relevant to her inner life. Ready to question, learn, reflect and discover herself within Torah.
The Woman Willing to Show Up
You don't need to be a scholar. You don't need to have done anything like this before. You need to be willing to show up — and let a year of Torah do its work.
A Note From Rebbetzin Tamar
Hi there, I'm Tamar — and I'm so glad you're here.
I'm the founder of the Nexus School: teacher, facilitator and coach. For the past twenty years, I've been exploring classical, Chassidic and kabbalistic sources in search of answers for the Jewish woman of this generation.
What began as my own search for healing, wholeness and transformation has become my life's work.
In Rise!, I take all of it — the deep ideas, the sources, the insights into the feminine soul — and bring them into a way of thinking, being and understanding that is relevant, practical and genuinely life-changing for the woman living a real life today.
If something in you is stirring as you read this, I invite you to come and learn with us.
All my love, Tamar 💛
The Nexus School is guided and endorsed by leading Rabbanim.
Rebbetzin Taback teaches Torah in a way that ignites a love of Hashem and His Torah. May Hashem continue to fan those flames until they become an all-encompassing love and awe of Him in the hearts of many women.
HaRav Aharon Lopiansky shlitaRosh Yeshiva, Yeshiva of Greater Washington
Tamar Taback has done a beautiful job of translating the deepest teachings of our tradition — bringing light to vessel, Heaven to earth.
Sarah Yehudit SchneiderA Still Small Voice
Rebbetzin Taback's programs reveal the feminine side of the spiritual in its genuine glory.
Rabbi Akiva Tatz
May Hashem bless you in all your endeavours. May your wonderful program truly help women rise into their fullest potential and bring about a Kiddush Hashem in the world as a result.
Rabbi Aryeh Nivin
If a woman can become a professional in secular subjects, why shouldn't she have access to the depths of Torah that awaken a love of Hashem in her heart? I pray that many, many women will find their way to this school.
