Is your mind there?
It’s a busy world. There are errands to run, people to meet and places to go. The days pass like a blur, one day after another, one year after the next. Sometimes it can feel like you're living on autopilot, moving along the journey of life, but with something missing… your mind.
The Torah was given at Sinai. So were the tools to help us open up, see more, and live more deeply.
Judaism places great emphasis on action. But many are unaware of another important facet of the Jewish tradition: deeply meaningful teachings about mindful awareness, spirituality, and meditative practices.
This course advances the uniquely Jewish approaches to these fascinating topics. Regardless of your past experience - or for that matter interest- in meditation, this course will both inspire and practically guide so that you can reap the benefits of a more spiritual and mindful life.

LESSON outlines
Lesson 1 - 8 February
MIND CONTROL, I THINK THEREFORE I CAN
Mind over matter—when you mind, life matters. The Torah teaches that our brains don't control us, we control our brains. When we harness our awesome gray matter, dreams become a matter of fact.
Lesson 2 - 15 February
SPIRITUAL AWAKENING, TUNE IN, PLAY ON
What is spirituality and how do I tune into its song? Meditation is the instrument that allows you to play the spirited music of existence, and the voice that enables you to sing the soul of every experience.
Lesson 3 - 22 February
DIVINE ANIMATION, JOY VEY
G-d animates everything, perpetually. Discovering G-d is opening ourselves to life's divine animation. Results include but are not limited to increased joy, more resilience, and deeper purpose.
Lesson 4 - 1 March
HERE AND WOW, FREE EVERY MOMENT
Long before living in the moment gained its moment in the spotlight, G-d gifted us the incredible power to live with, live in, live up, and transform every single moment of our lives. It's happening now, at this very moment. All of life is elevated by meditation.
Lesson 5 - 8 March
CLUB MED, EAT BETTER, SLEEP DEEPER, WORK HIGHER
Here we zoom in and focus on three of life’s essentials: when we consume, when we repose, when we hustle-bustle.
Lesson 6 - 15 March
ACT NATURAL, CLIMB THE MOUNTAIN DO
Those that can't, don't. Those that can, do. And you can. At its core, Mount Sinai is Mountain Do. Physical actions, called Mitzvos by the Creator, engender spiritual and physical change in the universe.
