Tzohar Seminary for Chassidus and the Arts

Tzohar empowers talented young Jewish women toward personal, spiritual and creative growth through the integrated study of Torah and the Arts.

The Hebrew word “Tzohar” symbolizes the goals of our program. In Genesis 6:16, G-d asks Noah to build an ark with a “Tzohar”. The biblical commentator Rashi explains that “Tzohar” has two meanings: 1) a window or skylight to let light in; and, 2) a gem that shines light outward. Tzohar Seminary is predicated on the ideal that by allowing the light of creativity into our students' lives, they will use their unique talents to make the world brighter and more beautiful.

Mission and Purpose : Tzohar exists for its students — our mission is in the service of helping each student find and apply her purpose and talents within Yiddishkeit.
