L'Chaim Center

L'Chaim Center Timeless wisdom of Judaism comes alive and enhances every aspect of our lives through our dynamic classes, workshops, retreats and programs.

To achieve our mission we seek to provide:

Weekly study groups- These participatory, interactive classes are designed to create a non-threatening learning environment where there is no such thing as a unintelligent question

Growth Through Judaism Workshops-These personal growth workshops are uniquely designed to provide the participant a time-tested “box of tools” which will enhance all areas of

life. Firstly, in the realm of personal character development, the student will learn uniquely Jewish ways to conquer anger, jealousy, laziness, sadness, and many of the other hurdles that hold us back from reaching our personal greatness and potential. An additional component of these workshops is insights and pathways towards enhancing our marriages. Regular Retreats-These retreats allow the participants the opportunity to experience the system of Jewish wisdom as is practiced on Shabbat and the Jewish Holidays. Participants experience the beauty and richness of Jewish life as practiced by a vibrant and dynamic Torah community. Consistently Available Consultation and Life Coaching- We have a professional, certified life coach on staff who can offer services to those seeking to integrate Jewish ideals and values into the most important areas of their personal or professional lives

User-friendly website- This website will be a tremendous resource for additional study and research. The site will contain live, on-line classes for those wishing to attend classes who are unable to do so. There will be a large MP3 library with free downloads of all classes given by the Institute as well as a variety of other speakers. The site will include special articles each week as well as links to a host of other Jewish learning websites.

One of the hardest things is learning how to hear a story that challenges your own without immediately shutting down.

Not surrendering your beliefs. Not pretending all narratives are equal. Just developing the ability to hold complexity long enough to understand what you’re looking at.

That’s what this essay is about.

Every wall has two sides. The question is what you’re willing to see—and what you’re not.

This piece is about conviction, complexity, and why hearing another narrative doesn’t weaken your beliefs. It tests them.

A 94-year-old woman.
A Druze village in the Galilee.
A family that says it has lived there for 2,000 years.
I went to meet the last Jew of Peki’in.
What I found was one of the most remarkable stories I’ve come across in Israel.

What do missile sirens, shepherds, roadside coffee, and spontaneous prayer have in common?

In Israel… they all happen on the shoulder of the highway.
