Physical fitness and knowing your community are integral when it comes to self-protection. Our Founder thwarted an assault when she was followed home from the train one night, inspiring B3: Be Prepared, Be Aware, Be Empowered. Being physically prepared to run, and aware of her surroundings, she was able to protect herself and run to safety. She needed B3. And she's not alone.

Our Be Aware program aims to strengthen our community by creating accessible self-defense training at a B3 Safe Stop - local businesses near SEPTA stations that provide safe spaces for our community.

Drash and Defense Workshop

Experience the benefits of self-defense training through the lens of who we are as Jewish women. Created and led by Abrielle Fuerst from Wandering Fighters, this program blends a range of self-defense scenarios (escaping wrist grabs, choke holds, hair grabs, and any other situation you have questions about!) with words of Torah and Jewish values. Classes are never taught from a place of fear; the goal is to empower you by meeting you where you are and teaching you to build from a place of strength. This program will raise awareness of safety issues, teach you how to assess situations, empower you to use your voice, and impart basic techniques specifically designed for women to use in self-defense. (Plus, connectivity and girl time in a uniquely women's space!)
