Chassidus Workshop featuring the Torah of Rav Moshe Weinberger with Rabbi Rabinowitz

Make a decision to live a life by design, not by default.  Rabbi Moshe Weinberger, the rabbi of Aish Kodesh Synagogue and a Spiritual Advisor at Yeshiva University, is world famous for his clarity and passion as he shares the teachings of the Chassidic masters.  Last year, Rabbi Weinberger taught a class at Citi Field which inspired hundreds. Thanks to the Orthodox Union, this class is available for everyone - even in Jacksonville. Over a two week period, we will watch together this life-changing class, while pausing at appropriate intervals to both check for clarity and to have discussions.  The goal is to both be inspired and to figure out how to use this class to bring positive change to your life.

December 10 and December 17 at 7:30 pm

Shabbos-Pirkei Avos with Rabbi Fisch at 4:10pm
For thousands of years, there were prophets that communicated and relayed stirring messages of intense criticism and comfort. The Jewish people found hope and inspiration in their words. The challenges that our people faced in ancient times are not very different from contemporary challenges. Yes, we may have more amenities and comforts, but the struggle that the human spirit is confronted with and the challenges that Klal Yisroel faced with is more relevant than ever. The prophetic visions that were transcribed were not only for earlier generations but are equally compelling today. 

Please join us every Wednesday morning for a cup of Java for your body and soul. Our weekly class on The Ethics of our Father you will discover how these messages are relevant. This is an informal class that offers a unique blend of inspirational insight and practical tools for our daily lives.

Learn the Talmud as you never have before! The class will slowly and methodically study the fourth chapter of Tractate Brachosand delve into its many intricacies. Learn the halachos of davening from the source itself - the Mishna and Talmud, and understand how Rambam and Shulchan Aruch came to codify these halachos as precisely as they did.
