What is Olami Souled and who is it for?
Souled is a program run by Olami that offers free resources to Jewish women across the globe, to help them discover and explore their Jewish identity.
Souled is geared towards Jewish women ages 18-32 who have limited Jewish education and are seeking to learn more. Souled is a community of Jewish women who challenge ourselves to grow spiritually every day. We hail from across North America and Israel, we’re young, ambitious, and refuse to just go through life. We want to grow through life.

Souled is designed to help young Jewish women explore and learn about Judaism. It does not focus on the “how-to” of Jewish observance, but rather allows students to define their own, personal journey and exposes them to Jewish wisdom and its application to modern life. Seriously Souled is geared towards women who are committed to a life of Jewish observance and want practical guidance. If you are not sure which of these profiles fits you, feel free to reach out to our staff or your Souled Coach and we will help you decide which program is the best fit for you.
