Valley Beit Midrash

A virtual class series hosted by Rabbi Dr. Shmuly Yanklowitz

ABOUT THE CLASS:

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 mind, the individual mind, and the Jewish mind.

All are held over Zoom every Tuesday at 10am PT (1pm ET).

Cost: $18/individual class, free for VBM Members
