Thank you to the 40+ who have signed up for the new course "Kabbalah of Meaning"!

We have held multiple classes so far in person and also on Zoom, and both classes had great refreshments such as Sushi and Shawarma, and so many meaningful anecdotes and ideas exchanged by the diverse crowd, including so many mental health professionals.

We want to give a special thank you to Dr. Doug Jacobs, who will be sharing ideas at each class, from modern psychology which correlate to the ideas being taught, which will help bring home some of the central ideas of each class.

The course (which is also accredited for Continued Educational Credits for many Medical Professionals) is being held person and with a Zoom option.

​In the Merriam Webster dictionary they define the word Jew, in different ways, as you can see in the image we included. Yet in addition to "these basic definitions, there is one deeper dimension to this name which was not included (yet).

 Dear Friends,

​I am back in Sudbury for Shabbos after spending an incredible 36 hours at part of the International Conference of Chabad Shluchim from around the world. 

Meeting hundreds of friends and colleagues from around the world, hearing their stories, anecdotes, challenges and heart to heart to talks, has been uplifting, deep and inspiring.

Hearing the Rabbi from Manchester speak about the terrorist attack on his community on Yom Kippur and what has happened since left you speechless. Talking to friends from Israel who are ​rallying their communities, often serving in the IDF at the same time, and hearing about family members and friends with PDF, was hard to process.
