About the Authors

Rivkah Slonim serves as the Education Director and Coordinator of the Chabad House Jewish Student Center at Binghamton University in New York, a role she has filled with dedication and passion for decades.

As an internationally sought-after lecturer, Rivkah has addressed audiences at hundreds of universities, synagogues, and communities around the world on topics relating to Jewish marriage, intimacy, family purity (טהרת המשפחה), and the role of women in Judaism. Her unique approach weaves together Torah scholarship with sensitivity and clarity, enabling women of all backgrounds to engage with the most profound dimensions of Jewish life.

Rivkah is the editor of the groundbreaking Total Immersion: A Mikvah Anthology — a comprehensive collection on the mikvah that has become an essential resource in the field. She is a regular contributor to Jewish publications and has served as a scholar-in-residence at numerous academic and communal institutions.

Beyond her writing and lectures, Rivkah is a passionate advocate for advancing the discourse on the role of women in Judaism and for making Torah wisdom accessible to the next generation. Her breadth of knowledge, hands-on experience, and personal warmth have made her one of the most influential voices in the field.

Mrs. Sara Morozow lives in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, where she is raising a large and growing family. Alongside her rich family life, Sara has built an extraordinary career as a kallah teacher, lecturer, and mashpia (spiritual mentor).

Sara is recognized as one of the most prominent kallah teachers in the Chabad world, with a loyal and devoted following among Jewish women of all ages and stages of life. Her approach seamlessly blends Halacha, emotional sensitivity, and practical guidance, empowering women to connect to the laws of family purity with joy and deep understanding.

She is closely affiliated with Mikvah.org, where she is featured in podcasts and lectures covering topics from tznius (modesty) and healthy boundaries to the practical application of Jewish values in everyday life. She has also lectured at the International Conference of Chabad Women Emissaries (Kinus Hashluchos).

Her practical wisdom, combined with years of experience guiding thousands of women through the most personal aspects of Jewish married life, makes her contribution to Holy Intimacy uniquely valuable — a blend of insight, warmth, and real-world relevance.

Rabbi Amichya Even Yisrael is the son of the legendary Rabbi Adin Even Yisrael (Steinsaltz) זצ״ל — one of the greatest Torah scholars of the modern era, renowned above all for his monumental commentary on the Babylonian Talmud that made the study of Talmud accessible to millions of Jews worldwide.

Amichya serves as chief editor at the Steinsaltz Center publishing house, where he carries forward the family legacy of making Torah wisdom accessible in clear, precise language. His exceptional command of both English and Hebrew, coupled with a deep understanding of the world of Torah scholarship, ensured a translation of the highest possible caliber.

The Hebrew translation of Holy Intimacy — titled אינטימיות מקודשת — preserves every nuance and subtlety of the English original while reading naturally and fluently in Hebrew. This is an achievement that demands not only linguistic mastery but also a profound understanding of the subject matter and its sensitivity.
