Worrier to Warrior - 4 Part Course
Ever feel like life throws a little too much your way sometimes? Worrier to Warrior is a powerful new course that offers practical tools and timeless Jewish wisdom to help you navigate those inner battles, tap into your soul’s strength, and face challenges with more clarity, calm, and confidence.
Build that emotional toolbox—you’ll be glad you did.
Light snacks will be served.
The 4 classes will be on:
1) Tues, June 17th, 2025
2) Tues, June 24th, 2025
3) Tues, July 1st, 2025

If you feel that your good deeds and accomplishments are not a reflection of your actual, less altruistic self, you are in good company. An estimated seventy percent of society reports feeling uncomfortable when praised for a good deed when they know that their hearts are not fully there. There is even a label for this experience: impostor syndrome. Many report a lack of motivation to make appropriate decisions simply because they feel that their good act will lack authenticity.
This session addresses this syndrome by guiding participants to discover that place of authenticity within themselves and to use their newfound awareness to introduce a significant and lasting shift in perspective.
-
Self-disappointment can be debilitating. Many of us are frustrated at repeated cycles of determined resolutions followed by abysmal failures to follow through or maintain. Others despair at the constant need to wrestle with prominent character flaws, such as pettiness, greed, thoughtlessness, lack of integrity, or spiritual insensitivity. The result is a destructive sense of inadequacy.
This session explores human nature to discover the dynamic that produces these seemingly unfortunate feelings in the first place. It then charts a course that empowers participants to maintain genuine optimism and positivity about themselves and their goals in life.
-
Guilt. Anti-guilt. Guilt-at-the-anti-guilt. We all slip, sometimes more than less. It is only natural and healthy to experience a measure of regret or guilt as a result. However, those emotions can become paralyzing and distressful. Simply ignoring the emotions will only backfire, greasing the path for repeating the original errors and experiencing even more devastating guilt. This session tackles the negativity associated with guilt, demonstrating a strategy to divert the energy created by guilt into a catalyst for positive change—empowering participants to take control of their guilt before it is able to take control of them.
-
Suffering. Crisis. Bereavement. While maintaining a happy and optimistic attitude is a wonderful goal, the sincere, burning flames of suffering and sadness can be incredibly difficult to douse. Well-meaning reminders that time heals or that G-d knows what is best do little to heal the searing pain of open wounds.
This session rises to the gallant challenge of sensitively enhancing our internal perspectives to allow the sun to shine despite the reality of our suffering. It succeeds to the extent that the suffering can even open the shades with its own hands.

Lesson Details:
Lesson 1
Why Marry?
With all this talk of dating, it's worth stopping for a moment and asking this critical question: What is the purpose of this? What's the end goal? A deep and honest look at the beauty of married life should provide an excellent answer.
Lesson 2
Your Bubby Was Right.
Dating is a tricky thing. No one disputes that. But with a clear understanding of what really matters and what's just window dressing, you're much better equipped to ace it. Discover the singular item to square away before and during the process. You'll save yourself a lot of heartache.
Lesson 3
Don’t Fall in Love with Love.
Are you in love? Do you want to be in love? Are you aiming for a starry-eyed and dancing-under-a-moonlit-sky experience? Are you waiting for the magical to click, and then you'll know they're "the one"? Discover what true love is all about-and how to tell it apart from everything else.
Lesson 4
I Just Can’t Decide!
It's arguably the biggest decision of your life. How can you possibly know that you got it right? Discover the fundamental attitudes and methods to bolster your confidence and put you at ease as you navigate this critical life decision.
Lesson 5
But Rabbi, Why Can't I marry Her?
It's a heartbreaking and charged discussion: why can't a Jew marry a non-Jew? What if they really, truly love each other? Who are we to dictate another person's life? An honest and insightful conversation about a critical topic in love and life itself.
