Join us this Tuesday for the return of the Weekly Wisdom class!

This week's topic:

UNPACKING THE SHEMA - Part 1

While the Shema (“Hear O Israel…”) is widely recognized as the most important prayer in all of Judaism, it still contains much more than what meets the eye. In this two-part class we will discover the tremendous ideas hidden in this incredible prayer and how they can assist us in our life’s journey. Finally, we will learn how to maximize our personal Shema experience through useful meditations and knowledge of its practical application.

New JLI Course: The Art of Parenting

Friday, January 2, 2015 - 10:18 AM

The Art of Parenting - Newsletter Ad

As parents, we worry about the well-being of our kids; about their future, and about our role in shaping it. How do we keep them safe, while encouraging their independence? When should we motivate them by incentive, and when by establishing firm consequences? And how do we build their self-esteem to prepare them mentally and emotionally for the long road ahead?

In The Art of Parenting, we scale the challenges that face us as parents and explore timeless insights from Jewish wisdom to instill values, foster independence, and ensure the long-term success and emotional well-being of our children.

Schedule: 6 Tuesdays, 7:30 pm, starting January 20th
