Feminine Blueprint Summit to Begin on Chof Bais Shevat
In a world that increasingly demands women to be everything to everyone—successful professionals, nurturing mothers, devoted wives, and community leaders—the modern Jewish woman often stands at a complex intersection. She is juggling the relentless pace of the 21st century while remaining anchored to her spiritual heritage. Addressing this profound balancing act, Chabad.org is proud to announce the launch of a transformative online summit: “The Feminine Blueprint: A Torah-Based Playbook for the Modern Jewish Woman.”
Scheduled to debut on Monday, 22 Shevat (February 9, 2026), this five-part summit offers a roadmap for women seeking to integrate the sanctity of Jewish tradition with the realities of contemporary life, leadership, and personal fulfillment.
“We often hear the conversation about ‘having it all,’ but we rarely define what ‘all’ means through a spiritual lens,” says Chana Weisberg, host of the summit and the Ordinary People, Extraordinary Stories podcast. “This summit is about shifting the paradigm. It’s about showing women that their spiritual role isn’t a burden to be balanced against their career; it is the fuel that powers their success in every arena.”
In addition to Weisberg, the event features leading voices in Chassidic feminity: Rivkah Slonim, the Associate Director at the Chabad Center for Jewish Student Life at Binghamton University, is an intellectual powerhouse and a leading voice on the theology of Jewish femininity, known for editing Total Immersion: A Mikvah Anthology and Bread and Fire. Chaya Teldon, dubbed the “Erma Bombeck” of Jewish speakers by The New York Times, is the co-director of Chabad of Long Island. Shaindy Jacobson is the director of JLI’s women’s studies division, The Rosh Chodesh Society.
The Program Schedule:
Roundtable 1: It’s a Woman’s World (February 9, 2026) The summit opens with a discussion in which the panelists will explore the unique spiritual role of Jewish women. This session focuses on how men and women can work in tandem, bringing unique strengths to a shared purpose of building homes, communities, and a better future.
Roundtable 2: Heritage Meets Hustle (February 11, 2026) In this candid conversation, the panel shares how embracing your unique role allows you to bring G-dliness into your home and how small shifts can lead to powerful, cosmic change.
Lesson 1: Welcome Holiness to Your Life (February 12, 2026) Chaya Teldon leads a deep dive into the “Three Core Mitzvot” of Jewish womanhood, teaching how to infuse the mundane routine with holiness.
Lesson 2: Sacred Spaces in Your Relationships (February 16, 2026) Shaindy Jacobson draws upon the teachings of the Sixth Rebbe to discuss emotional and relational harmony.
Lesson 3: Unlocking the Power of Jewish Womanhood (February 18, 2026) Closing the summit, Rivkah Slonim addresses a common misconception: that Judaism is synagogue-centric and therefore male-centric. Slonim will elucidate the central, essential mission women hold in G-d’s plan.
This summit is open to women (and men!) of all backgrounds, regardless of their current level of observance. Registration is required, and attendance is free. To register visit Chabad.org/FeminineBlueprint
