Course Description
Friday morning, September 16 - The Call of the Shofar
Discover the deepest meaning of the most simple of sounds. And explore the Jewish concept of Kingship, a central theme of Rosh Hashanah, made even more relevant by current events.
Friday morning, September 23 - Celebration or Judgement?
Is Rosh Hashana a celebration of the New Year, or a frightening day of Judgement? Or something more?
Friday morning, September 30 - Yom Kippur - Day of At-One-ment
Yom Kippur is the only day of the entire year in which we have five prayers services. (Maariv, Shacharit, Musaf, Mincha and Ne'ila). Discover how each of these services corresponds to the five levels of the soul, (Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Chaya and Yechida), and bring us to a level of oneness with G‑d, where all is forgiven, and our lives are forever transformed.
Friday morning, October 7 - SUKKOT - Attaining Joy
Described in the Torah as Zman Simchateinu, the Season of Our Joy, Sukkot is the happiest of all holidays. This class will explore the Chassidic approach to joy, focusing on practical ways to tap into the true and deep Happiness that comes with Sukkot, drawing in enough joy to last an entire year.

Meditation from Sinai:
Mindful Awareness and Divine Spirituality to Help You Think, Feel, and Live More Deeply
Lesson Outline
Lesson One
MIND CONTROL, I THINK THEREFORE I CAN
Mind over matter—when you mind, life matters. The Torah teaches that our brains don't control us, we control our brains. When we harness our awesome gray matter, dreams become a matter of fact.
Lesson Two
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, TUNE IN, PLAY ON
What is spirituality and how do I tune into its song? Meditation is the instrument that allows you to play the spirited music of existence, and the voice that enables you to sing the soul of every experience.
Lesson Three
DIVINE ANIMATION, JOY VEY
G-d animates everything, perpetually. Discovering G-d is opening ourselves to life's divine animation. Results include but are not limited to increased joy, more resilience, and deeper purpose.
Lesson Four
HERE AND WOW, FREE EVERY MOMENT
Long before living in the moment gained its moment in the spotlight, G-d gifted us the incredible power to live with, live in, live up, and transform every single moment of our lives. It's happening now, at this very moment.
Lesson Five
CLUB MED, EAT BETTER, SLEEP DEEPER, WORK HIGHER
All of life is elevated by meditation. Here we zoom in and focus on three of life’s essentials: when we consume, when we repose, when we hustle-bustle.
Lesson Six
ACT NATURAL, CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN DO
Those that can't, don't. Those that can, do. And you can. At its core, Mount Sinai is Mountain Do. Physical actions, called Mitzvos by the Creator, engender spiritual and physical change in the universe.
