Weekly Wisdom is an interactive class addressing relevant Jewish topics. Join us as we peel away the layers to discover the reasons and deeper meaning behind Jewish holidays and customs, the nature of the soul, Jewish history, Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism and spirituality, overcoming challenges, knowledge and faith, finding purpose in life and so much more! 

Weekly Wisdom: Because there is so much to learn!

Jewish law recommends having Mezuzot and Tefillin checked from time to time (ideally, twice every seven years) to ensure that they remain kosher. Time and weather can take their toll on these items, sometimes causing the perfectly handwritten letters to crack or otherwise become damaged and unkosher. 

A special convenient opportunity for checking Mezuzot and Tefillin is coming up soon, as two expert scribes ("Sofrim") will be coming to Houston on Monday, Aug 11 (staying for a few days) and will be offering this service for a small fee.

If you'd like to particpate, please contact Rabbi Yitzchok Schmukler at [email protected].

By popular demand, Chabad of the Bay Area is pleased to announce the launch of a new weekly class: Weekly Wisdom. 

Come together for an interactive weekly class on relevant Jewish topics.

Join us as we peel away the layers to discover the reasons and deeper meaning behind Jewish holidays and customs, the nature of the soul, Jewish history, Kabbalah, Jewish mysticism and spirituality, overcoming challenges, knowledge and faith, the purpose of life and so much more!

"Because there is so much to learn!"

Many people came out this Wednesday night for The Mystery of the Holy Temple. The fascinating class discussed the history, role, function and meaning behind the Beit Hamikdash, the location of its artifacts and why it continues to hold such a central place in Judaism now and in the future.

The learning was dedicated in the merit and honor of the soldiers and residents of the holy land.
