It all started in a Petach Tikvah coffee shop: Dudu was a soldier completing his compulsory duty with the IDF, and Limor was a freshman in the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Dudu came to meet up with his friends, and Limor was on a date with her friend – but their eyes met from across the café, and the rest is history….

Just one wonderful year later, we stood under the Chuppah, excited and emotional about the holy occasion, positive that this excitement will accompany us for the rest of our lives. Our years of marriage proved that with a lot of investment and hard work, the initial excitement can grow into something more profound; the more we nurtured and cherished the space between us, the more we felt the realization of R. Akiva's words, זכו – שכינה בינהם - 'if they should merit, the divine shall be among them.'

Several years and three beautiful children later, we decided we wanted to engage, together, in the important work of the things that keep couples together.

Dudu is an academic with an extensive Yeshiva education, who holds a number of public positions. He teaches in a Yeshiva High School, and lectures adults and adolescents on Torah and sexual education. Limor is a sex therapist, certified by Bar Ilan University, who lectures and runs workshops. Limor also volunteers as a Mikveh attendant.

ve-Ahavtem was born of necessity: we felt there was a need for a space that would create access to high quality tools for nurturing the relationship in a delicate and respectful way, in light of Jewish values.

We wish you a pleasant and loving experience,

​

Limor and Dudu Kleinman
