  • To Believe or Not to Believe in Yourself $999.00

    Ever feel like you’re running in circles?

    You’ve got a considerate and sensitive side, but then there’s another chaotic part of you that just wants to go wild and throw all that away. You feel caring and nurturing one moment, self-absorbed and aggressive the next. When we’re feeling conflicted and overwhelmed, making sense of our thoughts and emotions isn’t easy, and making any personal progress of any kind feels hopeless. How do we navigate our inner complexity and chart a clear path for ourselves?

    The Rosh Chodesh Society’s course, To Believe or Not to Believe Yourself, introduces participants to Tanya, a 225-year-old text whose portrayal of human psychology in general, and of our inner spiritual composition in particular, remains as revolutionary—and as refreshing—as ever. The kabbalah-based tools it presents help us understand ourselves, in order to better regulate how we think and feel, and ultimately emerge victorious from life’s inner struggles.

  • Pause & Affect: A Shabbat Outlook $999.00

    Shabbos, says the Talmud, is G-d’s gift to the Jewish people – and what a gift it is! It offers respite from labor and a break from the intrusion of our ubiquitous technologies. It allows family and community the time to connect and reflect without distraction. The warm smell of challah, the glowing candles and the comfort of ritual all leave their imprint, shaping forever the meaning of family, peoplehood and one’s place in the universe.

    Yet to many, Shabbos is archaic, restrictive and daunting and it is therefore altogether ignored. The objective of this course is to remove the barriers that keep people from enjoying what Shabbos has to offer. We invite women of every level of observance to experience the mystery of this most precious of Jewish treasures on their own level. This mitzvah is not an all-or-nothing proposition, and so this course provides multiple entry points so that students at every level of affiliation can explore meaningful ways to enrich their lives with the lessons of Shabbos.

  • Well-Connected: It’s not what you know. It’s what you do.

    What comes to mind when you think of religion? A way of looking at life, perhaps, a story about the world, or a way to pray? For many, a faith is a core set of beliefs surrounded by a little ceremony. For us, that’s precisely backwards: Judaism is less a system of belief than a system of action. But what’s so inspiring about all those dreary dos and don’ts? Well-Connected will reveal the soul of Jewish ritual life by showing how to make each mitzvah personal, and a way to connect to something beyond ourselves. Each month, we put one area of Jewish law under the microscope and explore its rationale, relevance, and practical application. As we proceed, a complete vision of the mysticism, the beauty, and the richness of divinely inspired life will emerge.

  • Crime and Consequence

    When innocent people are wrongly convicted…
    When “correctional facilities” turn first-time offenders into hardened criminals…
    When known murderers walk free on a technicality …
    Fairness in justice simply cannot be left to chance.

    In Crime and Consequence, we explore 3000 years of Jewish wisdom concerning criminal convictions, sentencing, crime prevention, and rehabilitation. We challenge our thinking, pondering the application of Talmudic principles to real and complex, modern-day cases, and we get to the heart of questions such as:

    Should we consider testimonies given in exchange for a reduced sentence as reliable evidence?
    What is the goal of punishing criminals? is it to gain retribution for the victim, keep criminals off the streets and safeguard from future crime, set an example and instill the fear of law, or to rehabilitate the criminal and reintroduce him to society?
    Is life-without-parole a justifiable penalty? Is it within our right to sentence a man to death? When would these be warranted? Is there a better way?

  • Outsmarting Antisemitism: How to Beat it with Purpose, Positivity and Jewish Pride

    Rise above the Hate

  • Wrestling with Faith

    Most people, even the devout, struggle with beliefs about G-d. It is easy, for example, to affirm the basic tenets of Judaism during a prayer service, but when it comes to trusting G-d with our daily decisions, many share a secret, painful fear that G-d isn’t really looking out for them. Many of us have been brought up under the assumption that mainstream science is incompatible with our Jewish faith. So when we see compelling evidence for biological evolution, for example, we feel forced to choose between science and our faith. Wrestling with Faith was created to tackle questions like these—the “big issues” that keep people from an intimate relationship with G-d. The course acknowledges the often unspoken doubts and fears that all people share, and seizes their invitation for us to dig deeper for the answers.

  • INSIGHT: Infused with Wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe $999.00

It does so by distilling the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s unique wisdom and infusing our lives with the ability to see things from his empowering perspective.

    This seven-part course explores the Rebbe’s broad view of the world at large, of our personal failures, of the feminine role, current trends and events, and more. We invite you on a journey in which wild jungles morph into beautiful gardens, dreadful weakness becomes cathartic strength, and blind adherents become conductors of insight…
