SUMMARY:The Kabbalah of Meaning
DESCRIPTION:Jewish Wisdom for a Life That Matters \nNo matter how much we achieve\, something within us still asks: “Is this it? Isn’t there something more?” \nThe Kabbalah of Meaning is a new six-session JLI course exploring the Jewish answer to that question. What are we really searching for—and where can it be found? \nDrawing on Kabbalah and centuries of Jewish wisdom\, we’ll uncover the essential building blocks of a deeply meaningful life. We’ll explore how purpose can be found in our work\, relationships\, challenges\, accomplishments\, and even the ordinary routines that fill our days. \nYou don’t have to revamp your life. You don’t need to meditate on a mountaintop. You simply need a new lens through which to see the rich world of meaning already woven into every part of your life. \nThoughtful\, practical\, and surprisingly relevant\, this course offers fresh perspectives and useful tools for living with greater clarity\, connection\, and intention. \nTry 1st class free. \nNo previous Jewish learning required. Come as you are—and bring your questions.

SUMMARY:A Peek Behind the Iron Curtain: An Evening with Author Daniel Grossman
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a captivating and memorable evening with acclaimed author Daniel Grossman\, in conversation with Rabbi Doug Kahn about Daniel’s book: “Seeing Red: Spies\, Lies and My So-Called Life as a Diplomat.” \nHave you ever had one of those days when you’ve had to explain to a leading Senator that the woman approaching his table is actually a Soviet spy hoping to bed and blackmail him? Well\, Danny Grossman has. As a twenty-six-year-old diplomat serving in Leningrad during the Cold War\, Grossman’s phones were tapped\, his home was bugged\, his consulate was rocked by something called Chernobyl\, his movements were tracked by an ambitious young KGB officer named Vladimir Putin-and that was only the beginning! Grossman also shares how he navigated the political and personal challenges of assisting Jewish “refuseniks” (Soviet citizens denied visas to emigrate) while under surveillance and in a high‑risk diplomatic environment. With autocracy rising around the world\, Grossman has written a stunning meditation on the politics of oppression\, the nature of dreamers\, and the resilience of ordinary people under siege.\nWelcome to a very private peek behind the Iron Curtain.
