Chabad Offers New Look at Spirituality

The Chabad of Larchmont-Mamaroneck will be offering a new class designed to unlock hidden meaning.

 

The content below was submitted by Rabbi Mendel Silberstein at the Chabad of Larchmont and Mamaroneck.

The Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) will present "The Kabbalah of You: A Guide to Unlocking Your Hidden Potential," the institute’s new six-session Fall 2012 course that will begin on Oct. 29, 2012.

Rabbi Mendel Silberstein of Chabad of Larchmont and Mamaroneck will conduct the six course sessions at Chabad on Mondays beginning Oct. 29 from 7:30-9:00 p.m. at 921 W. Boston Post Rd. in Mamaroneck.

“As diverse as our talents and interests may be, there is an underlying core that is common to all,” said Rabbi Naftali Silberberg of JLI’s headquarters in Brooklyn. “We all share that humanity, that dignity that makes our lives immeasurably valuable. 'The Kabbalah of You' addresses that core.”

Through the examination of the entire spectrum of what it means to be human,"The Kabbalah of You" offers recipes, tips, and techniques for not only discovering where your true meaning lies, but in actually making it a part of your daily existence. These sessions will help you see life as the mysterious, challenging, and satisfying wonder that it really is.

“Bringing light to what it is that makes you YOU will enable you to discover new depths of meaning that will have an impact on every aspect of your existence,” said Silberberg. “Joy, contentment, courage, self-control, a meaningful relationship with G-d, beautiful relationships with others—these are some of the benefits of being in sync with your deepest self.”

Like all previous JLI programs, "The Kabbalah of You" is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple, or other house of worship.

Interested students may call 914-834-8000 or visit www.myJLI.com for registration and other course-related information. JLI courses are presented in Mamaroneck in conjunction with Chabad of Larchmont and Mamaroneck.

JLI, the adult education branch of Chabad Lubavitch, offers programs in more than 350 U.S. cities and in numerous foreign locations, including Australia, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Denmark, Finland, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, Russia, South Africa, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and Venezuela. More than 250,000 students have attended JLI classes since the organization was founded in 1998.

Good question Allison, especially the STATE tax base. After all, Boston Post Road is a STATERead More highway, and any changes made to Boston Post Road will be decided upon and paid for by the STATE.

Well there is definitely more community disapproval with the current plans then there is support. ARead More possible suggestion for the developer may be to cut the plans from 120 units to 60 units with no more then 120 parking spaces . The community is worried about the proposed plan with the idea of adding 240 to 250 additional cars a day causing congestion with respect to traffic.The developer can set aside funds to pay for a daily rush hour bus to bring his new tenants to the trains to cut down on an increase in traffic. The developer to gain public approval should give up on any non access to private roads or it maybe in the interest of the community to make some of their roads which are currently public into private roads whereby no one heading to the golf course or the condominiums could cross these private roads thereby making access to the condominiums quite difficult. As far as a gain in the tax base. with any development where there are no tax abatements, it may appear that tax revenues may increase , however it may turn out to be a zero sum game, where the additional revenue pays for new public sector costs that will come with this project from garbage, water service, police , education, and any and all other public sector costs. With development it is better for the developer to become part of the community . Orienta has great characteristics. Many in this community would like the developer to search for the mean between the extremes with respect to development.
