You’ve probably heard about our upcoming Jewish Learning Institute seminar entitled Soul Maps, beginning next Sunday, November 9th. I am writing these few lines to tell you why I think you should sign up to take this course, if you haven’t already.
This course will offer an outline of the Kabalistic make up of our souls and how they function, while giving some basic knowledge of Kabalistic concepts relevant to our daily lives. Soul Maps is essentially a book review of the classic work Tanya, which is considered the “Bible” of Chabad philosophy and the textbook for anyone wishing to become acquainted with what I like to call “applied Kabala,” Jewish mysticism in a practical, intellectual and relevant context. We will explore the Torah’s view of our inner conflicts, where challenge and confusion come from, and how to best deal with them.
 If you ever wanted to learn Torah, find out more about Kabala or work on your own spiritual growth, this course is for you! In 6 short 1 ½ hour sessions JLI has packed in all of the above and lots more. This course will be time spent, it will offer lots of information, and may even make us happier, better human beings.
Why not give it a try?! Sign up by clicking here: www.chabadpw.org/JLI. Guaranteed money back if you decide you do not want to continue after the first session.
You’ve always wanted to study Torah. Here’s your chance!
Shabbat Shalom!
Rabbi Shalom M. Paltiel

Perhaps you have struggled before with the elusive search for meaning, and wished you had a personal mentor to guide your growth. What if you had the chance to meet one of the greatest masters of Kabbalah and learn ancient proven strategies for self-realization and contentment? This fall, you’ll have that chance. Soul Maps, a new course from the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute, investigates Tanya, the fundamental text of Chassidic thought. The course is structured as a six-session consultation with the author of the Tanya, Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi. During each session, you will receive insight into your inner world and you will discover new strategies for overcoming obstacles to change and progress. You’ll learn to resolve guilt, conflict, and confusion, and to traverse life’s journey with joy, purpose, and direction. CLICK HERE to join us on this journey: 6 Sundays, 10:00 - 11:30 AM beginning 11/9.

the parshah in a nutshell |
 |
|
|
ParshatBereishit
G‑d creates the world in six days. On the first day He makes darkness and light. On the second day He forms the heavens, dividing the "upper waters" from the "lower waters." On the third day He sets the boundaries of land and sea and calls forth trees and greenery from the earth. On the fourth day He fixes the position of the sun, moon and stars as timekeepers and illuminators of the earth. Fish, birds and reptiles are created on the fifth day; land-animals, and then the human being, on the sixth. G‑d ceases work on the seventh day, and sanctifies it as a day of rest.
G‑d forms the human body from the dust of the earth and blows into his nostrils a "living soul." Originally Man is a single person, but deciding that "it is not good that man be alone," G‑d takes a "side" from the man, forms it into a woman, and marries them to each other.
Adam and Eve are placed in the Garden of Eden and commanded not to eat from the "Tree of Knowledge of Good and Evil." The serpent persuades Eve to violate the command, and she shares the forbidden fruit with her husband. Because of their sin, it is decreed that man will experience death, returning to the soil from which he was formed, and that all gain will come only through struggle and hardship. Man is banished from the Garden.
Eve gives birth to two sons, Cain and Abel. Cain quarrels with Abel and murders him, and becomes a rootless wanderer. A third son is born to Adam, Seth, whose tenth-generation descendant, Noah, is the only righteous man in a corrupt world.

Past the Cosmic Machine
If the cosmos were some giant machine running a procedural program with immaculate precision, G–d’s involvement would be superfluous. But science has long abandoned a mechanical view of the universe. For most of a century, scientists have discussed the basic particles of matter and energy as ideas, without form as we know it.
True, science does not discuss G–d. But it does describe His works. In our times, science has allowed G–d back into the world He envelopes Himself within.
From the wisdom of the Lubavitcher Rebbe, Rabbi Menachem Schneerson, of righteous memory; words and condensation by Tzvi Freeman. To order Tzvi's book, "Bringing Heaven Down to Earth, click here.
