The Jewish Writing Institute is dedicated to teaching writing skills to improve the individual's ability to communicate effectively, develop outlets for self expression, foster self discovery and intensify one's Jewish and spiritual identity. This is done in a protected environment, sheltered from detrimental influences of modern society

The format gives students maximum flexibility of time and space. They can learn at home whenever it is convenient for them. The teaching method is one to one and interactive.

Original lessons with accompanying writing exercises are prepared by the talented and experienced faculty. Through the post or email, the student will complete each lesson sequentially and send it back to the instructor. The instructor will provide written feedback upon receiving each completed exercise.
