Using the voluminous writings of the late Lubavitcher Rebbe, of righteous memory, these classes lay the foundation for an inspired and meaningful week to follow. We’ll examine the weekly Torah reading through the lens of contemporary commentary, and you’ll be amazed at how topical and relevant the Parsha (weekly Torah reading) ideas and concepts really are. Both mystical and pragmatic, these sessions will truly elevate your spirits and refine your view of the world around you.

Jewish Learning Institute
An experience. A process. The struggle to understand, to feel, to make it real, to make it matter. To wrestle with the Jewish legacy and expose its inner light. Challenging the divine to come to terms with you, with your concerns, with your personal relationships and with everything that matters to human beings-and winning. You'll take this journey with teachers who live what they teach and teach what they live. Teachers with a thousand stories to tell. Who discuss the Jewish mystical experience from the inside out and take you on roads they're traveling themselves. Teachers who will give you their soul and being.
You'll come out with more than knowledge. You'll come out transformed.
