With the ever-changing needs of each generation, kallah teachers are at the forefront of preparing our bnos yisroel for meaningful marriages. Now, more than in the past, this job has become more complex and, at times, highly sensitive and challenging.
To meet this need, Shira Francis developed a training for kallah teachers who have already completed the 6-week teleconference on marital intimacy (Series 1), and who now want to take their kallah teaching to an even more nuanced, sophisticated level.
About the Training
Shira Francis, a Licensed Marriage & Family Therapist and Kallah Teacher, has prepared an immersive, information-dense, 10-hour program given periodically either in person or on Zoom. This training is designed to enrich your understanding and skills, empowering you to better guide the kallahs of today.
Since all participants have already taken Series 1, those concepts will be incorporated into the kallah teaching format. More detailed, sensitive topics will then be addressed, including, but not limited to, dealing with anxiety in kallahs, recognizing red flags during engagement and as newlyweds, supporting a kallah who has experienced unwanted touch or exposure, important messages to convey to the kallahs of today, understanding different types of men, and how to guide newlyweds accordingly.
Additionally, each session includes dedicated time for a Q&A, allowing you to seek answers to your specific concerns.
Your Commitment
In our effort to create an intimate and personalized learning environment, we’ve limited the participation to just 15 kallah teachers.
The total fee for this valuable experience is $550.

Hi Shira, BH i had a very full busy summer sunday, but I could not finish without a thank you!! I find your classes full of information and always new insight and perspective. I am always amazed at your steadfast hashkafa and real commitment to Torah values in all areas. It comes across in the way you address every topic. I feel this enriches my knowledge and perspective and I often refer back to many things I have learned from you. I look forward to the supervision classes and I feel that I gain each time from the issues discussed.
Thank you for sharing!
Mrs. Francis, I cant even tell you how grateful I am to you for the information we learnt in the training. I am dealing with a girl now who I picked up on the red flags that we learnt together and after talking to her, it came out that she has a few of the issues combined, severe anxiety, major exposure issues and severe boundary crossing/intense unhealthy relationships. I bh had the confidence to even speak about this all with her because of the training and we spoke last night for 2 hours. I was in touch with a local rav, and she is going for help starting tomorrow iyh. she getting married in 6 weeks???????????? I just want to thank you so much because there is no way I wouldve been able to detect and speak to her and confidently make her feel comfortable sharing if not for the information you taught us. der zecus zal dir bayshtain! thank you thank you!!!
“I gained tremendously from your training. It’s a great diverse group and you really have a chush in presenting sensitive material with dignity, Chochma, kedusha and tahara, and a down to earth relatable approach.”
“I have gained so much from your teleconference and now this training course, I am so appreciative to be part. You have enhanced my ability to help the kallahs I teach and the couples I have the zechus to be part of their journeys.”
“I just wanted to thank you so much for this super informative kalla teaching series. You can tell that a lot of thought goes into every word that comes out of your mouth, and you have a talent to teach clearly, with such refinement and eloquence.
I think the subjects I gained the most from was the 3 doors concept, common and uncommon bedroom behaviors, and the coaching for anxiety and ocd. The course has really enriched my knowledge and will imyh enhance my future classes that I teach. Hashem should give you koach to continue inspiring and empowering many more women in the kalla teaching field, and in the world at large.”
“Shira’s gift of language is a marvel. Her ability to take topics, sometimes very tricky ones, and distill them in a clear, torahdik and user-friendly way is something unique. I utilize many of her meshalim and overall terminology in my own life and in the courses I teach.”
