A women's Torah teacher
Rabbanit Iris Odani Elyashiv is a women's Torah teacher with a large recorded library of shiurim, several hundred classes in all. Her subjects center on emunah and faith, the Jewish holidays, practical halacha and the study of classic seforim. She teaches for an audience of women and families looking to learn these areas in depth rather than in passing.
Her classes stay anchored to the sources themselves. Rather than speaking in generalities, she works through a text line by line and draws out its meaning, so a listener comes away having actually learned the sefer under discussion and not only heard a talk about it.
Learning Tomer Devorah
A signature part of her teaching is a sustained series on Tomer Devorah, the classic mussar work of Rabbi Moshe Cordovero, the Ramak. Tomer Devorah teaches how a person can emulate Hashem's thirteen attributes of mercy in everyday character and conduct, and she unpacks its ideas patiently across many sessions.
Within that series she takes up the deep themes the sefer touches: the level of Adam before and after the sin, the nature of the human soul, and the meaning carried by the twenty-two letters of the Hebrew alphabet. These are demanding topics, and she presents them so that a motivated learner can follow.
Emunah, holidays and daily life
Emunah runs through much of her material. She connects faith to concrete concerns such as parnasa and geulah, reading events in the natural world — as in her talks linking the plague of locusts to livelihood and redemption — as windows into how a person can strengthen trust in Hashem.
Alongside this she teaches the holidays and areas of practical halacha, helping listeners understand both the reasons behind the observances and how to keep them. The result is a body of classes that moves comfortably between big ideas and the details of a Jewish life.
