Tali Aronsky

As a member of the Veani Tefila community in Nachlaot, Jerusalem, Tali Aronsky works hard to make the Ezrat Nashim community a warm and inclusive environment. She became a gabbait for the shul in 2020, organizes learning programs for the whole community, and gives many shiurim. In 2021, she was honored as Kallat HaTorah, the community’s highest public recognition.

In the larger Jerusalem community, Tali is recognized as an advocate for authentic spirituality and the full participation of women in Orthodox communities. She is a sought-after advisor on matters concerning domestic abuse, chronic illness, mental illness, career change, and life transitions.
