SHABBAT AT CHABAD

FRIDAY NIGHT, FEBRUARY 3

EMILY'S TIC

WITH EMILY FLEISCHMAN

Emily Fleischman '17 was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome (TS) and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) when she was 6 years old. After suffering shame and bullying for years she turned the tables and advocacy and leadership became her key focus. Emily put a face to the conditions by lecturing at schools and universities as New Jersey’s Youth Ambassador for the Tourette Association of America (TAA). She lobbied Congress to sign an act advancing research for neurological diseases, wrote a children’s book called Emily's Tic, mentored high school kids, and expanded her lectures to include hospitals. She is currently on the national Tourette Association of America Committee of Professional Nurses. She works as a nurse at Lenox Hill hospital in NYC.

FRIDAY NIGHT, MARCH 10

ASTOUNDING ENCOUNTERS AND LESSONS IN JEWISH LEADERSHIP WITH RABBI AVROHOM BERKOWITZ

From powerbrokers in Moscow to President Nelson Mandela, from tycoons in Argentina to rural Alaska, to the CDC during the recent pandemic and the front lines during the first months of the war between Russia and the Ukraine, Rabbi Avrohom Berkowitz's life has been a series of truly remarkable encounters. Prepare to be enthralled and inspired, and to be challenged in rethinking what you are capable of accomplishing!

We know you want to learn more about yourself, your history, and heritage.

That’s what JewishU is all about.

CHOOSE FROM:

THE MOST FASCINATING AND PERPLEXING BIBLICAL SAGAS OF ALL TIME

GREAT DEBATES IN JEWISH HISTORY

Mrs. Rivkah Slonim

A fascinating look at four pivotal debates that engulfed the Jewish people at different periods in our history. We will look at the background, motives, key events and wide-ranging legacies of these debates.

This is a fast paced, exhilarating, deep dive treatment of the stories in our Torah that always raise an eyebrow.

Learn them again, this time as an adult.

The sagas surrounding the Tree of Knowledge, Jacob and Esau, Joseph and his brothers and the Broken Tablets will never be the same for you.

THE DYNAMICS OF TALMUDIC DISCOURSE - “LE’SHITASEI” Rabbi Zalman Chein

Quantity or quality, breadth or depth, individual or community, potential or actual? In this exciting course we will delve into famous Talmudic disputation and analyze the core perspectives of the sages and their modi operandi in determining Jewish law.

SURVIVAL OF A NATION Rabbi Yisroel Ohana

Israel holds a central place in Jewish identity, narrative and practice. It is also currently subject to much misinformation, accusation, and contention. In Survival of a Nation we will dare to explore some important and challenging questions with an objective lens, open mind, and loving heart.

For more information and to register, visit www.JewishBU.com/JewishU or contact Rochel Chein at rchein@JewishBU.com

Mrs. Rivkah Slonim

SOUL MAPS Mrs. Rochel Chein

What if you had the chance to meet one of the greatest masters of Kabbalah and learn ancient proven strategies for self-realization and contentment? In Soul Maps you will receive insight into your inner world and discover new strategies for overcoming obstacles to change and progress. You’ll learn to resolve guilt, conflict, and confusion, and to traverse life’s journey with joy, purpose, and direction.

HATCH, MATCH, DISPATCH Mrs. Rivkah Slonim

A fast moving survey course that explores the beauty and depth of Jewish rituals, laws and customs relevant to conception, gestation, birth, engagement, marriage, death and mourning.

SHE LOVES ME - SHE LOVES ME NOT (for Men only)

Rabbi Zalman Chein

In this age of friends, benefits, and hookups, are real relationships still

possible? What does the ancient wisdom of Judaism have to offer us on this topic, today? Find out in this “for men only” course.

THE JEWISH COURSE OF WHY Mrs. Rivkah Slonim

Fun, complex and controversial questions about Jews and Judaism will be explored in this course.

DAYS ARE COMING Rabbi Zalman Chein

The Jewish people have been awaiting Mashiach’s arrival for many years. But who is Mashiach? Why are we still waiting? And what will the world look like once Mashiach comes?

THE HAPPINESS FACTOR Rabbi Yisroel Ohana

What is the secret of happiness?

Jewish thought has long emphasized the importance of living with joy. But how? And can you really choose to be happy? Synthesizing timeless Jewish wisdom and the latest findings from the field of positive psychology, this course is packed with spiritual insights you can apply to real life.

CHASSIDUS UNLOCKED II Rabbi Zalman Chein

An in-depth text-based study of a classic Chassidic Maamor, discourse, that speaks to the existential quest of man in a physical world to make space for a transcendent reality.
