The Jewish Dating Course – Student Textbook
$20.00
Welcome to the Jewish Dating Course, a five-part journey exploring the why, what, and how of dating from a Jewish, Chasidic perspective.
The lessons of this course will bring a hopefully fresh perspective to the audience about this important topic. For many, dating can be a cause for frustration, heartbreak, and—most aggravatingly—zero results. Drawing from classic Jewish wisdom, and particularly from the letters and talks of the Rebbe, this course will, G-d willing, provide much-needed insight to equip students for success.
Lesson 1
Why Marry?
Dating’s Final Destination: The Case for Marriage
With all this talk of dating, it’s worth stopping for a moment and asking this critical question: What is the purpose of this? What’s the end goal? A deep and honest look at the beauty of married life should provide an excellent answer.
Lesson 2
Your Bubby Was Right
There’s really only one foundational thing for relationships
Dating is a tricky thing. No one disputes that. But with a clear understanding of what really matters and what’s just window dressing, you’re much better equipped to ace it. Discover the singular item to square away before and during the process. You’ll save yourself a lot of heartache.
Lesson 3
Don’t Fall in Love with Love
Understanding the difference between real love and its counterfeit cousin
Are you in love? Do you want to be in love? Are you aiming for a starry-eyed, dancing-under-a-moonlit-sky experience? Are you waiting for the magical to click, and then you’ll know they’re “the one”? Discover what true love is all about—and how to tell it apart from everything else.
Lesson 4
I Just Can’t Decide
Date with confidence and clarity that you made the right decision
It’s arguably the biggest decision of your life. How can you possibly know that you got it right? Discover the fundamental attitudes and methods to bolster your confidence and put you at ease as
you navigate this critical life decision.
Lesson 5
“But Rabbi, Why Can’t I Marry Her?”
Straight talk about intermarriage
It’s a heartbreaking and charged discussion: Why can’t a Jew marry a non-Jew? What if they really, truly love each other? Who are we to dictate another person’s life? An honest and insightful conversation about a critical topic in love and life itself.

Most people, even the devout, struggle with beliefs about G-d. It is easy, for example, to affirm the basic tenets of Judaism during a prayer service, but when it comes to trusting G-d with our daily decisions, many share a secret, painful fear that G-d isn’t really looking out for them. Many of us have been brought up under the assumption that mainstream science is incompatible with our Jewish faith. So when we see compelling evidence for biological evolution, for example, we feel forced to choose between science and our faith. Wrestling with Faith was created to tackle questions like these—the “big issues” that keep people from an intimate relationship with G-d. The course acknowledges the often unspoken doubts and fears that all people share, and seizes their invitation for us to dig deeper for the answers.

A Reason to Celebrate is a course for women by the Rosh Chodesh Society.
In our course, “Heroines of the Bible: Her Story – My Story”, we will explore the struggles and challenges, the celebration and redemption, of six key personalities who are central figures in the history of the Jewish people. Empowered by their uniquely feminine qualities and prophetic vision, they inspired not only the women of their respective generations, but also the people as a whole, to identify with their personal mission and spiritual purpose. Today, living in our modern world, we too can connect with these great women, and by tapping into their stories we can attain personal fulfillment and success within our very own stories.
Debate and disputation are not only encouraged within Judaism but reside at the very heart of Jewish history and theology. The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) presents Great Debates in Jewish History, a six-session course exploring six fundamental conflicts that pit the greatest Jewish minds against each other–six instances of vastly divergent perspectives from throughout our history, including several that remain questions for us today.
Shabbos, says the Talmud, is G-d’s gift to the Jewish people – and what a gift it is! It offers respite from labor and a break from the intrusion of our ubiquitous technologies. It allows family and community the time to connect and reflect without distraction. The warm smell of challah, the glowing candles and the comfort of ritual all leave their imprint, shaping forever the meaning of family, peoplehood and one’s place in the universe.
Yet to many, Shabbos is archaic, restrictive and daunting and it is therefore altogether ignored. The objective of this course is to remove the barriers that keep people from enjoying what Shabbos has to offer. We invite women of every level of observance to experience the mystery of this most precious of Jewish treasures on their own level. This mitzvah is not an all-or-nothing proposition, and so this course provides multiple entry points so that students at every level of affiliation can explore meaningful ways to enrich their lives with the lessons of Shabbos.
INSIGHT, a Rosh Chodesh Society course, is a remarkably transformative experience that unveils the purpose, beauty, and power buried within ourselves, our destiny, and all of existence. It does so by distilling the Lubavitcher Rebbe’s unique wisdom and infusing our lives with the ability to see things from his empowering perspective.
Contrary to the idiom, “What you see is what you get,” our sight is superficial, taking in the exterior and leaving the interior undiscovered. With insight, however, we enter within and encounter a deeper, more truthful and divine reality begging to be embraced.
This seven-part course explores the Rebbe’s broad view of the world at large, of our personal failures, of the feminine role, current trends and events, and more. We invite you on a journey in which wild jungles morph into beautiful gardens, dreadful weakness becomes cathartic strength, and blind adherents become conductors of insight….
