Meet Sarah Yehudit Schneider
Author, teacher, and founder of A Still Small Voice, sharing teachings that illuminate the inner journey of Torah and spiritual life.
Sarah (Susan) Yehudit Schneider is widely recognized as one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary Torah learning. Her ability to translate profound and complex spiritual ideas into clear and accessible language has drawn a wide audience of students, scholars, and spiritual seekers.
Sarah Yehudit has pursued the study and practice of religion, meditation, and comparative mysticism since the early 1970s. Since 1981 she has lived in Jerusalem, where she follows an Orthodox path of Jewish observance. She studied at Neve Yerushalayim and later learned privately with Rabbi Yitzchak Ginsburgh, one of the leading teachers of Chassidut and Kabbalah of our generation.
Before immigrating to Israel she earned a bachelor’s degree in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology from the University of Colorado in Boulder and worked as a laboratory researcher for Celestial Seasonings Herb Tea Company.
As the founding director of A Still Small Voice, she has guided hundreds of students through the correspondence school’s teachings in classic Jewish wisdom. She also leads meditation retreats, teaches weekly classes, and has produced a series of illustrated video teachings on Jewish meditation.
Sarah Yehudit is the author of several books including Eating as Tikun, Purim Bursts, Purim Bursts 2, Kabbalistic Writings on the Nature of Masculine and Feminine, Evolutionary Creationism, and You Are What You Hate. Her essays have also appeared in B’Or HaTorah and the anthology Torah of the Mothers.
She currently lives in Jerusalem’s Old City, where she continues to study, write, and teach.
A Still Small Voice (קול דממה דקה) was founded in 1991 by Sarah Yehudit Schneider as a correspondence school dedicated to sharing the inner wisdom of Torah and Jewish spiritual practice. Over the years the work has expanded to include books and publications, illustrated video teachings, meditation retreats, weekly classes offered both online and in person, free holiday teachings sent by email, spiritual counseling, and a homeopathic remedy based on Kabbalistic sources called The Golden Thread.
This website was created through the initiative of Sarah Yehudit’s students to make these teachings more accessible around the world and to serve as a meeting place for those who wish to explore and share in this learning.
