Core Communities of Practice
A Core Community of Practice connects women who share the same communal role, so a kallah teacher finds other kallah teachers, a shul rebbetzin finds other rebbetzins, a chevra kadisha member finds others who sit with that same sacred work.
You may be the only one in your role in your community;
you’re not the only one doing this work.
Within each Community of Practice, members engage in facilitated discussions, Torah-based professional development tailored to their work, collaborative problem-solving, and meaningful peer relationships that strengthen both the individual and the field as a whole.
Members also enjoy access to Core’s growing online library of recordings and resources, regional in-person gatherings, and conferences that deepen collaboration, inspire new ideas, and foster lasting connections.

Elementary Teachers
Our mission is to create a collaborative community of practice for women teaching Judaic and secular studies in grades 1–5 within Yeshiva and Modern Orthodox day schools. We aim to support, guide, and empower one another as educators, fostering growth in instructional excellence, academic innovation, and professional development. Through shared wisdom and meaningful collaboration, we strive to address the educational, social-emotional, and behavioral needs of our students while uplifting and encouraging each other as dedicated teachers and leaders in our classrooms and communities.

Kallah Teachers
A community of women who teach and guide Kallahs from engagement through marriage. This international group of women bring their questions and concerns to the table as well as support and resources for fellow Kallah Teachers.
Core provides targeted professional development, resources, and opportunities to connect and collaborate with fellow kallah teachers worldwide.

FFC Launchpad
A forum for Orthodox women leading new Jewish non-profit organizations or initiatives. This community facilitates Torah-based leadership development, strategic growth discussions, and peer collaboration for impactful decision-makers.

Kodesh Teachers
Affectionately known as the “Core Teachers’ Lounge,” this is a collaborative space for middle/high school through seminary limudei kodesh teachers and mechanchos. Members benefit from targeted professional development, resources, and a vibrant, supportive, and engaged network of peers.
