Course overview

Life is busy. What connects it all? Join this six-session course to discover Judaism’s timeless approach to meaning in life. You’ll hear answers to some of life’s most fundamental questions: What is meaning? Where does it come from? And if we have it all, why do we seek more?

You’ll gain tools to see the meaning in the routines, relationships, and rhythms of time that shape your life. Discover the purpose in what you’ve achieved and in what lies ahead.

(No previous Jewish learning required.)

Lesson outline

01

The Meaning We Seek

When we have it all, we still need something more: purpose. Discover four fundamental human qualities that provide lasting fulfillment.

02

To Make or Not to Make Meaning

When life lacks luster, should we invent a more meaningful way of seeing things? Or is there already a purpose hiding in plain sight?

03

Meaning in the Mundane

Even if it happens every day, daily life needn’t feel ordinary. See how every part of the day can be as significant as your highest aspirations.

04

Meaning in the Rhythms of Time

As time flies by, is it just more of the same? Discover the rich texture of Jewish time, and how attuning ourselves to each moment’s message enables profound spiritual purpose.

05

Meaning in the Unchosen

Some things are clearly meaningful, but what if everything is? Explore a vision of life where every event and circumstance catalyzes growth and leads to greater purpose.

06

I Mean Something, Therefore I Am

Before you do anything, you are worthy. Discover Judaism’s empowering understanding of your inherent worth as an individual and as a Jew, and how it calls us to even greater achievement.
