What is it like for those who have traveled over to the Great Beyond? Beginning at p. Tuesday, Oct. The course will also be offered at 10 a. Professor Sheldon Solomon of Skidmore College, who co-authored the book "The Worm at the Core: On the role of Death in Life," said, "This course strikes me as a very fine juxtaposition of ancient theological wisdom with contemporary empirical science.
Our vast network of locations makes it easy to find local classes no matter where you are. Looking for continued learning credits? Many of our courses are approved by the American Medical Association, the American Psychological Association, and the bar association of most states.
It is history that gives humans the sense of immortality and a bond that transcends passing differences. I applaud JLI for launching this worldwide study of Jewish history, a unique opportunity to rediscover our collective identity.
In these tumultuous times, strengthening our identity is critical. JLI's course, The Land and the Spirit, provides an intriguing opportunity to connect to our roots, to be empowered by a personal link with our people and history, and to understand our bond to Israel. It is only by drawing a clear line from the past to the present that each of us can chart a course for a creative, constructive, and fulfilling future as part of the Jewish People.
If my first-year students had been exposed to this material before starting law school, they would be better prepared for the rigors of the Socratic method. Many thanks for sharing with me the exciting Rohr JLI curriculum of You Be The Judge and for the excellent idea of bringing the treasure of Jewish law, a major point of Jewish life and Jewish ethos, to the attention of interested people.
On the level of the individual to the level of culture, the ills we experience, by and large, result from mindlessness. The wisdom discussed in Toward a Meaningful Life should be widely read to help provoke a reversal of this trend and lead us to mindful lives full of everyday meaning.
The great encounters between Judaism and its surrounding civilizations are of paramount importance for anyone seeking to understand Jewish life in the past as well as in the present. The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute and Rabbi Aaron Herman are to be congratulated for their challenging course, The Land and The Spirit, in which the spiritual values and centrality of the Land of Israel are expounded through a fascinating range of religious and secular texts.
These texts, like the course itself, will serve a noble cause in stimulating thought and encouraging understanding. The story of our people is filled with tales of leadership and vision, kindness and compassion. These are the gifts that enriched our own communities, and they are gifts we have shared with others around the world. Cotler, Y. What is the Tanya all about. Drob, S.
