        <![CDATA[<p>In this class series, Rabbi Shmuly will explore the Torah of the mind. We will explore how Jewish thought intersects with modern psychological studies and theories by examining thinkers such as Freud, Piaget, Maslow, Frankl, and many others over 60 interactive sessions. Looking at consciousness, moral reasoning, ego, love, learning, and evil, how can we better understand why humans act as they do? Considering our relationships, traumas, memories, conflicts, and self-esteem, how can reflecting on the deep complexity of our minds help us live more meaningful lives? Further, how might Jewish ethics and Jewish philosophy help us ask not just “how do we live” but “how might we live?” Join us for a deep dive into the collective, individual, and Jewish mind.</p><p>Attend these classes live over Zoom by becoming a member for just $18 per month: https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member.<br>------------------<br>Stay Connected with Valley Beit Midrash:<br>• Website: <a href="https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org">https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org</a><br>• Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash">https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash</a></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this class series, Rabbi Shmuly will explore the Torah of the mind. We will explore how Jewish thought intersects with modern psychological studies and theories by examining thinkers like Freud, Piaget, Maslow, Frankl, and so many others over 60 interactive sessions. Looking at consciousness, moral reasoning, ego, love, learning, and evil, how can we better understand why humans act as they do? Considering our relationships, traumas, memories, conflicts, and self-esteem, how can reflecting on the deep complexity of our minds help us live more meaningful lives? Further, how might Jewish ethics and Jewish philosophy help us ask not just “how do we live” but “how might we live?” Join us for a deep dive into the collective, individual, and Jewish mind.</p><p>Attend these classes live over Zoom by becoming a member for just $18 monthly: <a href="https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member">https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member</a>.<br>------------------<br>Stay Connected with Valley Beit Midrash:<br>• Website: <a href="https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org">https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org</a><br>• Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash">https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash</a></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this class series, Rabbi Shmuly will explore the Torah of the mind. We will explore how Jewish thought intersects with modern psychological studies and theories by examining thinkers like Freud, Piaget, Maslow, Frankl, and so many others over 50 interactive sessions. Looking at consciousness, moral reasoning, ego, love, learning, and evil, how can we better understand why humans act as they do? Considering our relationships, traumas, memories, conflicts, and self-esteem, how can reflecting on the deep complexity of our minds help us live more meaningful lives? Further, how might Jewish ethics and Jewish philosophy help us ask not just “how do we live” but “how might we live?” Join us for a deep dive into the collective, individual, and Jewish mind.</p><p>Attend these classes live over Zoom by becoming a member for just $18 monthly: <a href="https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member">https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member</a>.<br>------------------<br>Stay Connected with Valley Beit Midrash:<br>• Website: <a href="https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org">https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org</a><br>• Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash">https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash</a></p>

        <![CDATA[<p>In this class series, Rabbi Shmuly will explore the Torah of the mind. Examining thinkers like Freud, Piaget, Maslow, Frankl, and so many others over 50 interactive sessions, we will explore how Jewish thought intersects with modern psychological studies and theories. Looking at consciousness, moral reasoning, ego, love, learning, and evil, how can we better understand why humans act as they do? Considering our relationships, traumas, memories, conflicts, and self-esteem, how can reflecting on the deep complexity of our minds help us live more meaningful lives? Further, how might Jewish ethics and Jewish philosophy help us ask not just “how do we live” but “how might we live?” Join us for a deep dive into the collective, individual, and the Jewish mind.</p><p>Attended these classes live over Zoom by becoming a member for just $18 per month: <a href="https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member">https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org/become-a-member</a>.<br>------------------<br>Stay Connected with Valley Beit Midrash:<br>• Website: <a href="https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org">https://www.valleybeitmidrash.org</a><br>• Facebook: <a href="https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash">https://www.facebook.com/ValleyBeitMidrash</a></p>

      <itunes:summary>In each episode of “39 Ways to Repair the World,” Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz – President and Dean of Valley Beit Midrash – explores one of the 39 melachot (categories of activity prohibited on Shabbat) through philosophical and theological perspectives.

Each of these 39 melachot can help us more deeply realize the many dimensions of Shabbat rejuvenation. Furthermore, these melachot can teach us ways we can repair and heal our world (and ourselves, our families, and our communities) during the other 6 days of the week. By enacting the lessons we learn from these 39 melachot, we can emulate Divine creation and transform our world into a holy dwelling place.

      <itunes:summary>In each episode of “39 Ways to Repair the World,” Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz – President and Dean of Valley Beit Midrash – explores one of the 39 melachot (categories of activity prohibited on Shabbat) through philosophical and theological perspectives.

Each of these 39 melachot can help us more deeply realize the many dimensions of Shabbat rejuvenation. Furthermore, these melachot can teach us ways we can repair and heal our world (and ourselves, our families, and our communities) during the other 6 days of the week. By enacting the lessons we learn from these 39 melachot, we can emulate Divine creation and transform our world into a holy dwelling place.

      <itunes:summary>In each episode of “39 Ways to Repair the World,” Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz – President and Dean of Valley Beit Midrash – explores one of the 39 melachot (categories of activity prohibited on Shabbat) through philosophical and theological perspectives.

Each of these 39 melachot can help us more deeply realize the many dimensions of Shabbat rejuvenation. Furthermore, these melachot can teach us ways we can repair and heal our world (and ourselves, our families, and our communities) during the other 6 days of the week. By enacting the lessons we learn from these 39 melachot, we can emulate Divine creation and transform our world into a holy dwelling place.

      <itunes:summary>In each episode of “39 Ways to Repair the World,” Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz – President and Dean of Valley Beit Midrash – explores one of the 39 melachot (categories of activity prohibited on Shabbat) through philosophical and theological perspectives.

Each of these 39 melachot can help us more deeply realize the many dimensions of Shabbat rejuvenation. Furthermore, these melachot can teach us ways we can repair and heal our world (and ourselves, our families, and our communities) during the other 6 days of the week. By enacting the lessons we learn from these 39 melachot, we can emulate Divine creation and transform our world into a holy dwelling place.
