We learned that an essential axiom of the Jewish value system is, “Know G-d in all you do.” It speaks to the notion that everything we do—not only the overtly spiritual and religious—can express G-dliness. To this end, we explored the three most basic activities of daily living and how we can infuse them with meaning.

Eat. Sleep. Work.

We gave ideas that can infuse meaning into each one of those activities. The most crucial step is to ask yourself before starting any of those activities: Why did G-d create me so that I need to do this? What was the purpose?

In this lesson, we uncovered the Jewish secret to overcoming the scattered and unfocused feelings that we often experience.

At the same time, being fully invested in the present moment doesn’t negate our responsibilities to the past and future. We learned that whatever impact the present can have on the past and future is part of the purpose of the present and is relevant to this current moment.

We then discovered that the very units that we use to divide time actually reflect a change in the Divine flow of creative energy. This led us to reveal a depth behind our need to breathe continuously: it is because we have to continuously take in life from the new creative energy that is animating the world at that moment. Because of this, each breath we take is an opportunity to become aware of the sacred purpose that G-d is investing in every moment.

What does it mean, just as a soul fills a body, so does G-d fill the world? In this class, we learned ideas we can meditate on, changing how we look at the world, ourselves, and the purpose of everything around us and in our lives. This has numerous positive effects on our day-to-day life. But it requires hard work, as we are seeking not just a spiritual experience. We are seeking a mindset change.

Every person is comprised of a body and a soul, each of which has its unique character and drive: the body is driven by material gain and the soul by spirituality. This means that we all possess an innate spiritual drive that we can come to feel and experience. The problem is that our material drive overpowers our soul. We explored two Jewish meditation practices that aim to help us overcome this hurdle.

When you think about meditation, what comes to mind? Do you imagine yourself sitting in a yoga pose with your eyes closed? Do you associate it with certain religions? Is Judaism one of them?  In this class, we explore the authentic tradition of Jewish meditative practice and how can it be used to better our lives and the lives of those around us?

Why are there so many arguments in understanding the Torah? Who has the real truth? Shouldn't something divine have one truth?  

A class on perspective in a seemingly upside-down world.

Before the Israelites left Egypt, some chased after gold and some chased after graves - both upon the express command of G - D. Who was right?  Two great lessons. One in living an integrated life and the second in priorities. We also discuss a little about this special day celebrating the Rebbe's leadership.

What is the purpose of the ten plagues? To free the Jews? Just skip to the last plague! To show G-d's power? Then why only ten!  

Are Challenges unnecessary obstacles, or are they part of who we are?
