ASCENT (Arlene Stock Center of Torah for Women) is the Women's Division of TORCH. Established in loving memory of Arlene Waldman Stock, the mission of ASCENT is to unite the women of the Jewish Community of Greater Houston through quality classes and programs. If you would like to volunteer with ASCENT or for more information about our programming please contact the TORCH office. ASCENT is also the producer of the annual Houston Conference for Jewish Women. HCJW is sponsored in conjunction with many major Houston Jewish organizations and is held every year in the fall.

If you'd like to learn and reclaim your heritage with other like minded women, or to set up a class or learning group with your own friends, please contact us. We'd love to help!
