Course Overview:
Most people today struggle with the fundamental question: What makes my life meaningful? With material comfort no longer the main struggle, many feel lost or unfulfilled. Drawing from King Solomon’s timeless wisdom and the insights of Jewish mystics, The Kabbalah of Meaning offers practical tools to uncover a clear sense of purpose that connects every part of life—family, work, community, and spirituality. This course tackles the big questions—What is meaning? What does it mean to be human? How does Judaism’s view of time, creation, and the divine image transform how we live?—and reveals how these profound ideas can guide you toward a more focused, fulfilling, and inspired life.
Lesson Outline:
Lesson One - Nov 4
The Meaning We Seek
When we have it all, we still need something more: purpose. Discover four fundamental human qualities that provide lasting fulfillment.
Lesson Two - Nov 11
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?
Lesson Three - Nov 18
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.
Lesson Four - Nov 25
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.
Lesson Five - Dec 2
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.
Lesson Six - Dec 9
I Mean Something, Therefore I A
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.
