Nishmah (a program of the J) inspires, engages and supports women, girls and boys through educational, spiritual and social programming. Through a collaborative model, Nishmah strengthens the St. Louis Jewish community. 

Programs include: Banot (Girls) Buddies for elementary school girls; Rosh Hodesh: It’s a Girl Thing! for girls in middle school; Banot Board for high school girls; It’s a Guy Thing! for teen boys; the Ilene Joseph Salon Series; We are Listening Series, the St. Louis Mikvah Project and other unique learning opportunities for women. 

In addition, Nishmah has a yearly special event, such as a women’s conference/retreat or Jewish holiday related signature event. This year’s signature event, the Women’s Shabbat Retreat will return on Feb. 9-10, 2018.
