Current Events: In G-d We Trust (Torah Studies)
The Importance and the Power of Thinking Positive
We all know worrying doesn’t help, but does it also hurt? In exploring the appropriate ways to deal with stress and challenges, this lesson defines faith and trust in G-d. What emerges is a profound and empowering message of how we can use positive thought to improve our lives.

Pesach: Home Altar-ation (Torah Studies)
Bringing G-d into Our Personal Space
Of the four volumes of the Jewish Code of Law, there is just one tiny section about the synagogue. The rest is all about the kitchen, the bedroom, and the business place. So, where is the center of Jewish observance?

Pesach: Free at Last (Rosh Chodesh Society)
Redefining Freedom in the 21st Century
Passover is the “Festival of Our Freedom.” But what does freedom mean to us today, when governments give us the autonomy to live as we choose? We are no longer enslaved, but does that mean we are truly free? How do we attain a sense of internal freedom from our personal enslavements?
