Finding Peace in the Tumult: The Torah's Courageous Therapy for the Soul
Contact office for next date.
Please join Dr. Davin Wolok for Post-Kiddush Torah Study session. The unifying theme is: "Nurturing the Spark Within: Illumination of Soul Through the Light of Torah."In the world in which we dwell we encounter both the uplifting and the depressing, both the ennobling and the discouraging, both light and darkness. It is the conviction of Judaism that the light will ultimately prevail, but even now we may draw upon inner resources, strengthening us in confronting the darkness. A spark of light exists within, which may grow in response to the Word of Torah addressing it from without. In our Shabbat sessions we will encounter Torah as an elixir, a tonic for the soul, in our journey together, toward the Eternal Day of Light. "Through Your light we shall see light." May the Torah touch you, and may you touch your fellow seekers with the light of your very own spirit and soul.
