The Kabbalah of Meaning

Jewish wisdom for finding the purpose that connects all parts of life

Fall 5786: 6 Mondays at 7:30pm | Begins Monday, October 27, 2025

This course speaks straight to the core questions we carry around, whether we say them out loud or not: What are we doing here? Does any of this really matter? And if it does, how do we find the thread that ties it all together?

Today, we feel the pressure to come up with our own personal brand of meaning. The world tells us: invent yourself, define your truth, make it all up from scratch. But that often leaves us feeling lost and unanchored. This course flips that script. It shows us that the Torah doesn’t ask us to invent meaning—it teaches us to uncover the meaning that’s already there.

This course gives us a new lens—a Torah lens—through which we can begin to see how meaning is already built into every part of our lives. Each lesson shows us how deep purpose runs through both the big and small moments of life.

Over six lessons, we explore various relevant themes—not in a way that’s philosophical or removed, but in a way that speaks directly to how we live and make decisions every day. The central message is simple and empowering: each of us has a purpose, and every moment is part of it.

We walk away from this course not just thinking differently but living differently.

 

This course will offer continuing education requirements for doctors, psychologists, social workers, LMFTs, and LMHC/LPCs.

Here's a sneak peek inside the six lessons:

 

Lesson 1

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 2

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 3

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 4

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 5

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 6

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.
