Shalom and welcome to Michal’s Tefillin, an online magazine for Jewish women. Our philosophy is a simple one – to promote and nurture an environment of superlative creative talent and to encourage the diversity, the strength and the chutzpah of Jewish women from all walks of life.
Michal, the daughter of King Saul, wife of King David, had chutzpah. She wore tefillin while she prayed, such was her aura and strength that not even the sages, not usually open to women taking the reins, could complain about her. While Michal’s role in the Torah was limited to being a wife and a daughter, reading between the lines, we see a woman of wit and wile, a woman who carried out the strength of her convictions, despite the consequences.
Our modern day Michal, the beautiful Sharon Novikov, a multi-lingual science undergraduate who also happens to be a photographer, model and actress, epitomises the spirit of the modern Jewish woman – talented, intelligent, independent and vibrant. Sharon is one of life’s rare beauties, beautiful inside and out, and it is her strength of spirit and determination, even in difficult times, that single her out as a true daughter of Michal.
