Class Description:

We’ve heard it before, haven’t we? Some self-help book comes along that holds the secret to adding meaning or clarity to our lives (and sometimes they really do help). What if I told you that we’ve had the best self-help book around for more than 3500 years? Over three sessions we’ll look at what the Torah can teach us about our relationships to ourselves, others, and the world around us, and how exploring its lessons and mysteries can offer structure and holiness to us. Come and learn to peel back the layers of the Torah, getting at its beauty and its ability to change our lives.
