Emotional and Psychological Themes Through the Lens of Torah

As a psychotherapist for the past 18 years, Rachel (Rochi) Lerner sees God as the quintessential psychologist. Her shiurim uncover the many insights into human emotion and behavior that permeate the classical texts. Her approach to Torah integrates her passion for textual analysis with her psychological mindset. Ms. Lerner attended Yavne Teachers' College in Cleveland Heights, OH, and has been giving shiurim for the past 30 years. Among them are a monthly Rosh Chodesh shiur and a weekly Mishlei shiur, both in Teaneck, and a weekly Tehillim class in her home. Ms. Lerner also teaches for the Florence Melton Adult Mini-School of Judaic Studies. When not teaching Torah, she maintains a private psychotherapy practice.
