Toward A Meaningful Life: A Soul-searching Journey for Every Jew

February 2011

Life can be a treadmill — as we go through the motions day after day without ever asking why or seeking what really matters to us. This course, prepared by the author of the best-selling book, Toward a Meaningful Life, is determined to change that. Here are strategies, tips, andsuggestions for not only discovering where your true meaning lies, but in actually making it a part of your daily existence. Whether you are dealing with family relationships or job satisfaction, this course will help you look beyond a crisis to find the lessons within. Most important of all, these sessions will help you see life as the mysterious, challenging, and satisfying wonder that it really is.

This course will have two offerings one on 6 Sunday Mornings 10:15am - 11:45am and one on 6 Tuesday Evenings begining 7:30pm - 9:00pm.

Course Overview

Discovering Your Personal Mission Statement
No business can function without a mission statement, and neither can you. This lesson will help you establish the foundation of a meaningful life — why you’re here, why you matter, and how you can make sense of the patterns of your thinking, behavior, and feelings.

Marriage, Love, and Intimacy
How can you nourish the richness and depth of a loving relationship? We’ll explore the spiritual factors that can make a relationship greater than the sum of its parts — with a passion that’s eternal, purposeful, comfortable, and which truly reflects our Jewish values and attitudes.

Home and Family
Building a home, raising a family — these are the most important sources of warmth and security in our lives. Learn how to nurture and strengthen these vital bonds that embrace us with comfortand connection.

Work, Charity, and Wealth
We all need to earn a living, but that doesn’t have to consign us to a plodding drudgery that leaves us feeling half-alive. We’ll explore the ins and out of job satisfaction, as well as ways to put money in its proper perspective and keep materialism from overpowering our G-d-given, spiritual natures.

Pain, Loss, and Anxiety
Pain can intrude on our lives at any time. All-consuming, it is a call for attention that launches the natural process of healing. We'll explore ways of coping with difficulty, finding a balance between grieving for what has been lost and feeling hope for the future.

Religion and Faith
Faith is not only the stuff of childhood. It can open us up to the mystery of life, the wonder that defies reason. In this session, we work toward a personal grappling with truth as well as a more mature, dynamic relationship with our Creator.

Medicine and Morals Course: Your Jewish Guide Through Life's Tough Decisions

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 10:49:00 AM

Medicine and Morals: Your Jewish Guide Through Life's Tough Decisions

A CME Accredited Course

Begins October 26th 2010

• How is Jewishness determined in the case of surrogate motherhood?

• Are you permitted, or perhaps even obliged, to donate a kidney to save the life of a loved one?

• May you pursue a dangerous experimental treatment that has the risk of shortening life?

• Should your children and teens have the autonomy to refuse a potentially lifesaving treatment because of its arduous side effects, even when you disagree with their decision?

Modern medicine creates many new quandaries as it continually pushes the boundaries of what is possible. In Medicine and Morals, learn how Jewish tradition resolves today's great medical issues and how your faith can help you make better medical decisions.

Lesson 1
Choices, Choices: The Ethics of Patient Autonomy
The modern medical age offers hope for many dire medical situations, but does so at a price. As medical intervention increases, quality of life often decreases. This lesson examines Jewish perspectives on pursuing medical care, as well as declining it. Is it ever acceptable, or even preferable, to simply rely on faith, prayer, and one’s own resources? How does Judaism justify medical intervention? And is it an obligation or a choice? May other family members force us to seek treatment that we do not want? Do our personal preferences and values hold any weight? And does the same hold true for children? This lesson examines the ethics of issues involving patient autonomy within the modern health care system.

Lesson 2
Becoming a Parent: The Ethics of Assisted Reproduction
Many couples struggle with infertility. In their efforts to bear a child, they are often cast into the complicated ethical web of the new reproductive technologies, many of which call into question the very definition of parent. In the age of sperm donation, egg donation, and surrogacy, can a child have more than two parents? How is Jewishness determined? How does Judaism look at “designer babies?” Can we pre-select the gender of the child to match parent preferences or to prevent genetic illnesses? How far must one go in the quest for biological children, and what recourse is there for those who are unable to bear children of their own?

Lesson 3
I Have a Secret: The Ethics of Confidentiality
A basic presumption of modern medical practice is that patients have a right for their medical history to be kept confidential unless they explicitly waive those rights (such as in allowing records to be reviewed by an insurance company). What happens, however, when those records contain information that might impact other family members? May a man hosting an incurable communicable disease withhold that information from his wife? Does a woman willing to donate a kidney to a man she presumes to be her father have the right to know that in fact, he is not related to her at all? Do children have the right to know they are carriers of a particular disease, or may the parent keep that information private? This lesson looks at some ways of balancing the harm to the individual whose privacy is invaded against the need to provide family members with vital health information.

Lesson 4
All Kinds of Minds: Mental Difference in Jewish Tradition
The mentally ill have often been viewed in society as possessed by the devil, or otherwise evil. Jewish law, however, has long recognized this as a disease, and acknowledges both the limitations of responsibility that this state imposes, as well as the essential humanity of the mentally ill. Jewish law recognizes that there may well be islands of ability at the same time that limitations exist. It encourages the maximum participation possible of those with mental illnesses, while outlining the role the community must play in protecting their interests. The lesson also considers the integration of individuals who may suffer from mental retardation, and the value of engaging them actively in Jewish life.

Lesson 5
The Gift of Life: The Ethics of Organ Donation
Hundreds of thousands of people find their lives hanging in the balance as they hope for the gift of life in the form of a vital organ such as a heart, lung, or kidney. By receiving an organ, they are literally given a new leaf on life. Yet there is a tremendous shortage of available organs. Does Jewish law allow the donation of organs, either from a live donor or one who is recently deceased? Might it go further, actively encouraging or even morally compelling one to donate under certain circumstances? Conversely, if our bodies are not our own, do we even have the authority to give a body part away? This lesson provides a nuanced and compassionate look at the sensitive ethical issues governing organ donation.

Lesson 6
Rolling the Dice: The Ethics of Medical Experimentation
Often, people with rare or incurable illnesses consider untested experimental treatment, gambling that they will be cured. May one participate in an experimental treatment with no guarantee of success that also has the danger of shortening life? Can we define the allowable odds? Does it matter that participating in this experimental treatment will provide important knowledge that will be helpful in curing others? The lesson considers other ethical issues related to experimentation such as the ethics of stem cell research.

Course Begins on Tuesday Evening Oct 26th at 7:30pm

The fee for the course is $95 but there are scholarships available for those who require it.

Beyond Never Again Course

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 10:46:00 AM

Portraits in Leadership Course

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 10:44:00 AM

Portraits in Leadership

Course Rationale

We are a generation obsessed with the subject of leadership, perhaps because it seems that there are no leaders anymore. In our information age, heroes inevitably turn out to have clay feet, and it is clear that power and greatness do not necessarily go hand in hand. It is easy to wonder whether there were ever true heroes. Perhaps we were all once simply more naïve. We react to our disappointment and disillusionment by defining leadership down, placing it within the grasp of anyone who is willing to reach for that gold ring while astride their wooden horse on the merry-go-round of life. Yet even in our jaded times, we have the power to be moved by the everyday heroes who never sought the limelight yet admirably rose to challenges that crossed their paths.

Captain Chesley Sullenberger, who spent a lifetime honing his flying skills and his preparedness for emergency, successfully landed a plane in the Hudson River and saved the lives of everyone on board. “We were just doing our job,” he said, when the president called to congratulate him.

Malden Mills owner Aaron Feuerstein continued to keep his workers on payroll even after a fire destroyed the mill in 1996. Seven years later, he was forced to file for bankruptcy. Yet he has no regrets about his decision. “It would have been unconscionable to put 3,000 workers on the street,” he said. “It was the right thing to do.”

While leaders emerge from the shadows in times of crisis, the preparation for leadership is the single-minded dedication to being a person of character. This ethical focus prepares them to take on hard tasks without hesitation when the need arises. The sages of the Talmud are case studies in leadership. Driven by the moral vision set out by the Torah, they sacrificed for their values from an early age. And when the difficult times came, leadership was a natural and automatic response, for they had spent their whole lives in preparation for those critical turning points.

This course is a biographical description of six sages of the Mishnaic era. Though each lesson examines the life story of a particular sage in light of the personal characteristics that uniquely positioned him to respond to the challenges of his time, this course also charts the successful efforts made by the sages to lead our people through what is arguably the period of most profound change in our rich, colorful history. In two short centuries, Jews saw the collapse of all the major institutions upon which they had once relied.

Until that time, the Beit Hamikdash and its sacrificial rite was the primary outlet for Jewish ritual devotion, and the oral tradition was the primary source of Torah vibrancy and knowledge. Whereas the destruction of the Beit Hamikdash was swift and dramatic, the collapse of the oral tradition was a slow, painful process that extended over close to two hundred years.

Through dedicated effort and patient nurturing, our sages successfully steered our people into the future, leaving these critical institutions behind but salvaging the fundamental principles that characterized those institutions. This course traces the story of this successful orchestration, through the notable stories of six pivotal leaders. The course combines the drama of history, the inspiration of character, and the personal relevance of the stories of our tradition. In doing so, it helps us reflect on what is most central in our own lives, and the qualities we possess that can help us weather times of crisis and change.

Course Objectives

While it is difficult to fully appreciate the heroes of this course without understanding the historical backdrop, this course is first and foremost biographical. Through the prism of the vignettes and anecdotes recorded in the Talmud, we gain a sense of the timelessness of Jewish values. We can see what was important to the sages, from the stories they recorded. In the process of reading these lives as the sages of the Talmud preserved them, we have the opportunity to reflect on the attitudes and strategies that provide us with the resilience and strength to adapt to difficult times.

Course Overview

Lesson One: THE HUMILITY TO LEAD

Can you think of an unfortunate event in your life that you could have prevented if only you had been willing to ask for help? Can you think of a friendship destroyed because you were too proud to say you were sorry? Can you think of an opportunity missed because at the time you thought it was beneath you?

In an age of image management, we sometimes forget that admitting vulnerability can be a source of strength. When we are cognizant of the facts that others have something to teach us and that each person is deserving of our respect, then our influence is often enhanced.

Hillel is an example of someone whose power as a leader derived from his humility. He was not afraid to give up wealth and stature in exchange for the opportunity to learn from the greatest teachers of the generation. He was not ashamed to admit that he had forgotten something he had been taught. And he showed patience and respect even to those who seemed to least deserve it. A model of restraint, he was able to maintain peace in turbulent times.

Lesson Two: THE COURAGE TO LEAD

How much are you willing to risk for the chance to preserve what is most precious to you? It does not take courage to rise to a challenge that you know you can win. It takes great nerve, however, to move forward with total confidence in untested territory, knowing that the slightest hesitation will ensure loss.

Rabbi Yochanan ben Zakai, for all his gifts and talents, was referred to as the youngest of the students of Hillel. Living as he did through the time of the destruction of the temple, it would have been easy for him to defer the difficult decision-making to others. Yet he rose to the challenge, undergoing great personal risk to negotiate with Rome and trade the loss of the temple for the survival of the academy.

Lesson Three: THE INDEPENDENCE TO LEAD

We are social creatures, looking to our family and friends for love and support. What in your life is so important that you would pay the price of distancing yourself from the ones you love, in order to preserve it? Are you independent enough to stand against the world to protect what matters most?

It is said that it is lonely at the top. True leaders must often forge a path on their own, enduring the scorn and censure of those around them who do not understand what they are trying to achieve.

As a young man, Rabbi Eliezer ben Hyrcanus left a family business and risked being disinherited in order to study Torah. Later in life, he endured excommunication in order to ensure the faithful preservation of the tradition.

Lesson Four: THE PERSEVERANCE TO LEAD

Are there dreams that you have given up on? What is it that you once would have loved to do, but think you are too old to do now? What new dreams are you afraid to consider because you think it is too late? Too often, we are content to live within the limits defined by distant decisions and former failures.

Rabbi Akiva, however, who spent his youth disdaining the academy, was willing to rethink his life at the age of forty, and with the encouragement of his wife, Rachel, spent the next twenty-four years absorbed in study and scholarship. He was able to see the destruction of Jerusalem, and yet retained faith in the future of the next generation. And when, as a centenarian, he lost all but five of his students in a plague, he began investing anew in training a new cohort of protégés who would transmit his teachings to the next generation.

Lesson Five: THE INNOVATION TO LEAD

Have you ever broken into your own car? Hacked your computer to get to your own files? Sometimes we need to know how to bend the rules in order to preserve the system.

Rabbi Meir was the most gifted of Rabbi Akiva’s students.With his brilliant wife Beruriah, he worked tirelessly to salvage and reconstruct the oral tradition during one of the most oppressive periods of our history. He made the controversial decision to maintain relations with his former teacher turned heretic, Elisha ben Avuyah, in an effort to ensure that Elisha’s knowledge would not be lost to future generations.

Lesson Six: THE VISION TO LEAD

Hard times can make heroes of us all. But there are some who do not need crisis to force their hand. They have the imagination and the vision to picture a life beyond anything they have known, and the will to make that vision a reality.

Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi came from a respected family. He was a wise and talented student and enjoyed wealth and authority. He was a great statesman, a close personal friend of the emperor of Rome. He led the Jews through a period of relative peace and prosperity.

Yet he remembered the hard times that had preceded him, in which Torah had almost been forgotten from Israel, and he resolved to ensure that the Jewish people would never face this crisis again. With vision and ambition, Rabbi

Yehudah decided to organize all of the oral tradition into written form, preserving it for all generations. His monumental task was achieved with the recording of the Mishnah.

Soul Maps: Kabbalah to Navigate Your Inner World

Thu, 10 Mar 2011 10:41:00 AM

Soul Maps: Kabbalah to Navigate Your Inner World

Discover Simple, Private Sharing at Drop.io

Begining Wednesday November 12th

COURSE DESCRIPTION

Our upcoming course, Soul Maps, introduces you to the Tanya, a 200-year-old text with a revolutionary new look at human psychology. It provides Kabbalah-based tools to help you understand yourself.

Until the publication of Tanya, the Kabbalah was an esoteric discipline that was studied and understood by only a select few. Tanya, however, sought to make the teachings of Kabbalah practical, relevant, and accessible. Its numerous reprints attest to its success in achieving this goal.

A precursor of the modern self-help genre, Rabbi Shneur Zalman authored Tanya as a substitute for his personal mentorship. If you attend this course, you will experience six sessions of spiritual counseling from a master of Kabbalah and the nature of the soul. You will come to understand the source of guilt, conflict, and confusion, and find useful strategies for developing joy, purpose, and direction in everyday life.

COURSE SYLLABUS

Lesson One
Soul Words

If you are such a good person, why do you sometimes feel so mean inside? And if you are such a bad person, why are you plagued by fits of conscience? Just as Freud developed the vocabulary that enable you to speak about your psyche, the Tanya provides the key terms and constructs that allow you to speak about your soul . . . or souls. What kind of person are you? What is the source of inner conflict? This lesson teaches you the words you need in order to answer the question.

Lesson Two
Getting A Grip on Yourself

It can be enlightening to know why you succumb to temptations that you wish you had resisted. But is there a strategy to gaining self-control? This lesson provides practical guidelines for overcoming weakness and learning to control behavior.

Lesson Three
Sync or Sink

When your heart’s passion pulls you one way and your measured mind pulls another way, the disconnect can be agonizing. This lesson will teach you two methods for aligning reason and emotion, so you can reduce stress and live decisively.

Lesson Four
The Joyride

Constant doubt and emotional unhappiness can gradually sap you of the strength and will to change. But joy provides the boost that allows you to live each day with enthusiasm and resolve. This lesson provides useful perspectives that can help you generate a positive attitude.

Lesson Five
The Big Picture

Even after learning methods for overcoming personal challenges and pursuing goodness, you may still wonder why it all matters. What is the purpose of imperfect attempts at perfection? Do your human failings condemn you to be a personal failure? Or might your weaknesses provide an opportunity for a making a unique contribution to the world? Lesson Five allows you to make peace with your personal struggles as you consider your place in the larger scheme of things.

Lesson Six
Have a Heart

Most of Tanya focuses on how you can gain control of the way you act, even if your feelings and motives are not always pure. For those who are patient enough to pursue a slow fix, this final lesson provides meditations and guidelines for reshaping your essential nature over time, while recognizing that the true key to living purposefully is behaving purposefully.
