JEWISH WOMEN'S STORIES, SPIRITUALITY, & WELL-BEING
THE SHVILLI CENTER
The SHVILLI Center is the creative home for Jewish women’s voices, stories, and spiritual expression. Through writing, learning, publishing, and community gatherings, we explore the intersections of creativity, Torah, and personal journey. From our Az Nashir anthologies to the growing SHVILLI community, we create spaces - online and in person - where women can connect, create, and be heard.
Our workshops, books, and gatherings spark conversations that engage deeply with Jewish values, Torah, history, culture, and language. We explore identity, lived experience, and personal and intergenerational memory, while honoring the shared human experiences that connect us all.
SHVILLI IS A COMBINATION OF TWO WORDS:
“Shvil and Bishvilli,” meaning, “A path forward for me.”
We are all seeking creativity, community, and self-expression.
The Az Nashir Series
Az Nashir is a growing series of Jewish texts and creative works shaped by women’s voices, rooted in Torah, and written from within lived Jewish experience.
Each volume brings together women scholars, writers, educators, therapists, and artists to engage deeply with Torah, Jewish tradition, and spiritual language — including the revival and reimagining of women’s tehinot: personal prayers written in the first person, grounded in text, experience, and relationship with God, coming from the urgency of our moment in time.
The series is founded on the belief that women’s Torah learning, personal prayer, and creative expression are essential to how Judaism is studied, taught, and lived today.
