At The Well connects women around the world through transformative practices inspired by ancient Jewish Wisdom.

Our core product, Well Circles, are communities of women meeting for a renewed take on Rosh Chodesh, the ritual of marking the new moon. We leverage the following strategies to inspire women to join:
Engagement: We reach and teach individuals and organizations with trainings, physical and digital products, events, and campaigns that integrate health and holiness.
Education: We create and distribute webinars, zines, blogs, and videos that connect the dots between Jewish spirituality and women’s mental, emotional, and physical health.
