Judaism Take 2
Become the you, you were meant to be
Gain the knowledge, understanding and inspiration that will allow you to breathe new life into your Judaism.
This course will not just fill in the gaps between your early education and your adult life, but it will leave you with a sophisticated understanding of Yahadut and how these Torah ideas speak to today's challenges. You will learn many new ideas and their sources and be able to apply them to your life.
The knowledge you gain will totally shift your perspective, adding depth to your understanding and filling you with the drive to transform yourself, your family, your community and your nation.
Some of the topics we will be addressing in this course:
• Not seeing the hand of Hashem means we are closer instead of further
than our ancestors.
• Moving beyond a child’s relationship with Hashem.
• Am Yisrael is here for the human race.
• Self Discovery: We are not meant to be homogeneous, find confidence
in your individuality.
• Developing oneself is the truest way of emulating Hashem’s Chessed.
• Chayecha Kodmin: Juggling legitimate competing demands.
• What actually is Bechira? What is Hashgacha? Sorting thru our thoughts and choices.
• The crime of believing conventional thinking.
• Genders: She Lo Asani Isha, Me Too, and other trigger topics.
• Being a man: Our strengths and weaknesses.
• Stop trying to “keep Hashem happy”: Moshe, Iyov and the big question.
• In the battlefield of Tzaddik V’ra Lo

Read MoreI have never heard such torah truths as the ideas presented in this course! I felt that I was learning true "emet" and everything suddenly made sense. Not only is there a wealth of knowledge and wisdom in the classes, but there are multiple classes that are referred to within the learning, allowing for more and more in depth learning. Everything is presented in a clear and engaging manner and I found myself excited and eager to learn...this carried me through the week. The change in perspective changed my whole outlook on life and my direction. Having grown up in a traditional Torah day school, the learning was not productive or conducive to the type of relationship I wanted to have with Hashem and with others. The concepts in this course were approached from a radically refreshing and new perspective. I am utterly grateful to have had the opportunity to take this course!

A terrific lesson that if the Torah does not seem sweet to you it means you are understanding it incorrectly, here is a great place to start.

Read MoreThis course was a real "game changer" for me. I gained a new understanding of such 'common' terms as Bechira, Olam Haba, Chesed, Yirah, and others. The subsequent shift in perspective has improved my Mitzva observance and relationship with Hashem. Thank you, Esther and Rabbi Rubinstein. Looking forward to more courses like this. Ada Fisher
