Love Secrets: A Jewish Take
This course explores the messages teens are getting from the mainstream media and Western culture, concerning dating, attraction, love, beauty, and sexuality. By inviting students to take a serious look at these real life issues and the way their relationships play out in their day-to-day lives, we will transmit the profound wisdom found in Torah and Chassidus. This course will dispel misnomers about love and intimacy in Judaism and show the beauty in monogamy and the spirituality of marriage. Practically, students will walk away with the know-how to confront peer pressure; have self-respect; respect others; and see the beauty in a happy, healthy, holy, and appropriate relationship with the right (Jewish) person and with Hashem.

Made in the Twilight Zone $75.00
“If not for the last minute, nothing would get done.”
The Mishna (Avot 5:6) lists a number of unique items created on that first Friday during Bein Ha-Shmashos (the twilight hour between shkia and tzeis hakochavim).
If our Shabbos observance — characterized by abstaining from creative labor — is to be a reflection of Hashem’s abstention from creation, why must we not engage in creative labor during Bein Ha-Shmashos?

Making the Right Turn $75.00
Are you headed in the right direction? Depends who you ask. And when.
Many Jewish practices, such as circling the Bima on various occasions, shaking the Lulav, lighting the Chanukah candles, and others, are associated with particular physical movements in both the right and left directions.
However, the definition of right and left is apparently subject to interpretation. Is “derech yemin” clockwise or counterclockwise?
