About the Presenter
Rochie Pinson is a wife, mother, and Rebbetzin of a large and growing community in Brownstone Brooklyn. Together with her husband, Rav DovBer Pinson, she founded and directs the IYYUN|CHABAD Center for Jewish Spiritual Enrichment which reaches thousands of people every year, both locally and globally, with classes, events, a popular website, and the publication of many books devoted to Judaism and Spirituality.
In her capacity as Rebbetzin, Rochie is mentor to hundreds of women, and teaches and lectures on a regular basis. Six years ago, she began teaching a Challah baking class/workshop - which took on a life of its own - drawing women from all walks of life. Beginning as a monthly class in Brooklyn, Rochie was soon taking reservations a year in advance. Recognizing the global appeal - Rochie took her class out of New York - and began traveling to other cities and countries - spreading the word about the incredible power of the Challah mitzvah and its potential to change women’s lives.
Eventually, this internationally popular and inspirational Challah workshop expanded into a book, and under the title of ‘RISING’ it is now in the process of publication with Urim Publications - with an expected release date of fall/2015.
