Viviendo la Parashá Tetzavé
Una reflexión sobre la luz, las vestiduras y el santuario interior de la mujer judía Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez La Parashá Tetzavé (שמות כז:כ – ל:י) se abre no con el nombre de Moshé Rabenu, sino con una orden dirigida a él: “וְאַתָּה תְּצַוֶּה” — “Y tú ordenarás.” La palabra תְּצַוֶּה (tetzavé) proviene de la raíz צוה, que significa “ordenar”, pero está relacionada con צוותא (tzavtá) — conexión, unión. Desde el inicio, la Torá enseña que el verdadero liderazg

Living Parashat Tetzaveh
A Reflection on Light, Garments, and the Inner Sanctuary of a Jewish Woman Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez Parashat Tetzaveh (שמות כז:כ – ל:י) opens not with Moshe Rabbeinu’s name, but with a command directed to him: “וְאַתָּה תְּצַוֶּה” — “And you shall command.” The word תְּצַוֶּה (tetzaveh) comes from the root צוה, meaning “to command,” yet it is related to צוותא (tzavta) — connection, bonding. From the outset, the Torah teaches that true leadership and true avo

Viviendo Parashat Yitró: Escuchar la Voz de HaShem en un Mundo Lleno de Ruido
Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez -Cuando el mundo finalmente escucha Parashat Yitró no es solo la parashá de Matan Torá —la entrega de la Torá—; es la parashá de la escucha. Antes de que se pronuncie una sola palabra de los Diez Mandamientos, la Torá nos presenta a un hombre cuya grandeza reside en su capacidad de oír. Yitró, un sacerdote no judío, escucha sobre la Yetziat Mitzráyim (la salida de Egipto), escucha sobre Amalek, escucha sobre los milagros—y ac

Living Parashat Yitro: Hearing G-d’s Voice in a World of Noise
Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez -When the World Finally Listens Parashat Yitro is not only the parashah of Matan Torah—it is the parashah of listening. Before a single word of the Ten Commandments is spoken, the Torah introduces us to a man whose greatness lies in his ability to hear. Yitro, a non-Jewish priest, hears about Yetziat Mitzrayim, hears about Amalek, hears about the miracles—and he moves. The Torah tells us:

Living Parashat Beshalach: Walking Through the Sea While It Is Still Water
Emunah, Song, and the Quiet Courage of Jewish Women Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez When Redemption Feels Unfinished Parashat Beshalach (Shemot / Exodus 13:17–17:16) is often remembered for its most dramatic moments—the splitting of the Sea of Reeds, the Song of the Sea, and the defeat of Amalek. Yet beneath the spectacle lies a more intimate story: what happens after liberation, when the chains are gone but the heart still trembles. For Jewish women, espec

Viviendo Parashat Va’era: Redención a través de la Emuná, la Mesorá y el Poder Silencioso de las Mujeres Judías
Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez -(Shemot / Éxodo 6:2–9:35) Parashat Va’era no se abre con la victoria, sino con la resistencia. El pueblo de Israel está aplastado por el trabajo forzado, Moshé se siente rechazado y el faraón parece más poderoso que nunca. Sin embargo, es precisamente aquí—dentro de la presión y el ocultamiento—donde la redención comienza a tomar forma. Desde una perspectiva sefardí, Va’era enfatiza la emuná peshutá (fe simple y constante), la lea

Living Parashat Va’era: Redemption Through Emunah, Mesorah, and the Quiet Power of Jewish Women
by: Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez -(Shemot / Exodus 6:2–9:35) Parashat Va’era opens not with victory, but with endurance. The people of Israel are crushed by labor, Moshe feels rejected, and Pharaoh appears more powerful than ever. Yet it is precisely here—within pressure and concealment—that redemption begins to take shape. From a Sephardic perspective, Va’era emphasizes emunah peshutah (simple, steady faith), loyalty to mesorah, and the spiritual strength ca

Shovavim: Meaning, Halacha, and the Gentle Strength of Jewish Women
by Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez Each year, quietly and without fanfare, the period known as Shovavim enters the Jewish calendar. It is not marked by a holiday, nor by a special ritual commanded in the Torah, yet for generations it has carried profound spiritual weight. For Jewish women in particular, Shovavim is not a season of severity, but one of clarity, balance, and dignified return—a time to understand holiness not as pressure, but as alignment. -Wha

Viviendo Parashat Shemot: Encontrar nuestra voz en los lugares estrechos
Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez Parashat Shemot se abre no con milagros, sino con nombres. “Ve’eleh shemot bnei Yisrael—Estos son los nombres de los hijos de Israel que llegaron a Egipto” (Shemot 1:1). La Torá podría haber dicho simplemente “los hijos de Israel”, pero insiste en enumerar nombres, recordándonos que la redención comienza con la identidad. Para las mujeres judías, que a menudo cargan con trabajo invisible y una fortaleza silenciosa, esta apertura afi

Rebbetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez Parashat Shemot opens not with miracles, but with names. “ Ve’eleh shemot bnei Yisrael —These are the names of the children of Israel who came to Egypt” (Shemot 1:1). The Torah could have simply said “the children of Israel,” yet it insists on listing names, reminding us that redemption begins with identity.

Viviendo Parashat Toldot: El Poder Silencioso que Transforma a Generaciones
Escrito por: Rebetzin Hannah Miryam Bejarano Gutierrez Parashat Toldot es un estudio de contrastes—luz y sombra, silencio y voz, destino y libre albedrío. Es la historia de un hogar donde dos naciones se agitan dentro de un solo vientre (Bereshit 25:23), y donde un linaje espiritual se asegura no a través de milagros dramáticos, sino mediante elecciones silenciosas y constantes. Para las mujeres sefardíes que sostienen la continuidad espiritual de sus familias y comunidades,
