Born This Way? Think Again

Why Your Nature Doesn’t Have the Final Say

Don’t Walk into the Ark Alone

Giving Up on Others Is Never an Option

When someone close to us is drifting from a spiritual or moral life, how far are we expected to go to help them? Through the Torah’s complex portrayal of Noach and a powerful debate in the Zohar, this class challenges us to think differently about responsibility, prayer, and the meaning of never giving up.

Just Do It

Obedience, Not Inspiration, Is the Heart of Judaism
 

Judaism isn’t a system of values or a path to personal growth—it’s a relationship, and G‑d defines the terms. Learn how Avraham’s first step wasn’t about what he believed or felt but about simply doing what G‑d said.

Not My Thing? Not the Point.

Stepping Out of Character When the Moment Demands It
 

Avraham was the embodiment of kindness, so why did he confront G‑d with harshness? Because when a soul is on a mission, comfort doesn’t matter. This class challenges us to rethink what real service looks like, and how far we’re willing to go for it.

Buy Local, Reach Global

Judaism Isn’t Just for Jews

Make It Yours

Finding Your Voice inside the Tradition
 

Does following a tradition mean losing yourself? Not at all. This class unpacks how Judaism doesn’t ask you to silence your individuality—it invites you to channel it. Real authenticity isn’t about walking away from what you’ve inherited but about making it unmistakably your own.

Wherever You Go, There You Are

Finding G‑d’s Purpose in Your Detours
 

Life doesn’t always go according to plan—but what if that was the plan? Discover how Yaakov’s journey shows that every twist in the road is Divinely charted, and every challenge holds a spark waiting for you to uncover.

Will the Real You Please Rise?

Wrestling with Your Own Greatness
 

Yaakov didn’t just fight an angel—he fought the part of himself that was scared to lead, scared to rise. This class explores how growth often means stepping into a version of yourself that feels too big, and why that’s exactly what G‑d wants.

Jewish Success Story

It’s Not You, It’s Him
 

When things go right, we like to think we earned it. But the Torah teaches otherwise. This class reveals how all success is really G‑d’s doing—and how recognizing that truth opens the flow for even greater blessing

Loud and Lit

Fighting Back against Fitting In
 

The Greeks didn’t try to kill us—they tried to make us just like them. This class explores Chanukah as a battle for identity and what it means to be visibly, unapologetically Jewish in a world that prefers you weren’t.

The Man behind the Clothing

How to Stay Whole in a World That [JM1] Won’t Sit Still
 

Life demands constant reinvention, but your soul doesn’t need to change with your outfit. This class dives into the story of Yosef to uncover the secret to staying grounded and spiritually centered—even as the world pulls you in every direction.

Don’t Get Too Comfortable

Exile Is Never Home
 

Jacob had everything he needed in Egypt—comfort, family, and freedom to live Jewishly. But he still begged to leave. This class challenges the illusion of exile as a resting place and calls us to yearn for something more.
