Tanya: more than a page-turner; a life-turner.

The Song of Songs is truly a beautiful story, but does this romantic rollercoaster of love really belong in the Bible? According to the great sage Rabbi Akiva, not only does it belong - but it is the holiest of all the books! In this course, we will look at it through three distinct prisms. One, the literal interpretation. Two, the historical interpretation which celebrates the connection between G-d and the Jewish people, and third, the mystical interpretation, which connects the individual soul with G-d.

In this new four-part series we delve into the teachings of Rabbi Levi Yitzchak Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s father. A renowned Kabbalist and Talmudic scholar, Rabbi Levi Yitzchak’s Torah has influenced generations of Jewish thought. Join us as we unpack the concepts that defined his work and get a taste of the deep love for G-d, Jews, and Torah that has reverberated down through the generations.

In this course, we will cover strife, personal weakness, the human condition, and the daily battles that rage between our G-dly soul and our animal soul. You will discover that not all conflict is bad; on the contrary, it can be channeled into a greater good. You will gain a profound appreciation for friends, family, and humanity as a whole. But, most importantly, you will gain a deeper insight into the world’s most important person, you.

Faith, joy, love, truth. These are all words that evoke a certain set of feelings: aspiration, hope, and maybe even a tinge of confusion.

Truth.”, we set out to present a personal and authentically Jewish approach to living a more fulfilled life. One lesson at a time.

Welcome to the Tanya - a classic, Chassidic text, written 200 years ago, that turns all preconceived notions of what it means to be human upside down. Do we have one soul or two? What does it mean to be righteous? And are we supposed to take life seriously, or have a good time? Dive into this four part series and find out.

How much do you know about the soul and its inner workings? Have you ever wondered about the big questions: why are we here? What’s the purpose of evil in the world? Join us as we delve into the paradoxes and mysteries of the human condition—and glean answers to some of our most essential questions. Based on the teachings of R. Shneur Zalman of Liadi in his seminal chassidic text, “The Tanya,” this course will introduce you to the Jewish understanding of the soul... and what it means to have one in the 21st century.

Do we have freedom of choice, or is it merely an illusion? Belief in an omnipotent higher power would suggest that everything is predetermined. But how does that explain the human experience, in which our ability to make choices is a given?

Are we a contradiction to G-d's omnipresence? Can our world and G-d coesxit?
