About This Podcast

Welcome to Kol Deracheha, a podcast about women and mitzvot, from deracheha.org, a Yeshivat Har Etzion Initiative. Our name comes from the pasuk in Mishlei 3:10, which says "be-chol derachecha da'ehu." "In all your ways, know God." We've changed that to Kol Deracheha, which means "all her ways," and also "the voice of Deracheha." Our goal is that Kol Deracheha will inspire you wherever you walk on the pathways of Torah. Season 1 of Kol Deracheha is dedicated in memory of Mrs. Anita Hirsch Silverman, Yehudit Raizel bat Eliezer v'Esther, zichrona livracha.
