“Do you feel deeply about life?
Do you enjoy discovering new and interesting ideas?
Are you always looking for higher meaning and inspiration?
Nobody knows better than you where you will find meaning, but there are places that you’re likely to encounter it. Our newest course, Curious tales of Talmud: Finding personal meaning in the legends of our sages, will introduce you to a legendary world of insight that has fascinated scholars and mystics for millennia.
What is it about?
Judaism is full of deeply resonant and transformative wisdom. Some of its most profound ideas about life, the universe, the soul, and our relationship with g-d are encrypted in an unusual place-within peculiar and nonsensical Talmudic tales.
The Talmud’s zany legends tell of gargantuan sea creatures, vinegar-fueled lamps, idolatrous kings, rivers flowing upstream, and a debate of riddles between Jewish and Athenian sages. These intriguing legends are not usually accessible to the general public, nor are the profound pearls of wisdom that are encrypted within them.

INSIGHT, a Rosh Chodesh Society course, is a remarkably transformative experience that unveils the purpose, beauty, and power buried within ourselves, our destiny, and all of existence. 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.
Contrary to the idiom, “What you see is what you get,” our sight is superficial, taking in the exterior and leaving the interior undiscovered. With insight, however, we enter within and encounter a deeper, more truthful and divine reality begging to be embraced.
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….

Between Me and G-d: How Jewish Prayer Unites Heaven and Earth
Should we pray? Granted, prayer has been a key feature of Jewish life for four millennia. But what is its goal, how is it done, and why are ancient and formal rituals relevant to us nowadays?
The Rosh Chodesh Society’s course, A Work of Heart, flings the cover off the Jewish prayer book, the prayer services, and the synagogue—exposing the beating and beautiful heart of prayer that breathes within. It reveals prayer as an art and an opportunity, a means of human-to-G-d bonding, a journey of self-discovery, a perspective changer, and an exercise in self-empowerment.
