How do we beat burnout, gain perspee- tive when our judgment is elouded, and make progress on the goals most important to us? This newest eourse from the Jew ish Learning Institute (JLI) offers an interesting twist to dealing with these eommon ehallenges—an ap- proaeh that examines the stories and eharaeters of kings and prophets. Beginning Tuesday May 17, 7:30 PM, Rabbi Yossi Groner will eonduetthe six sessions of the JLI eourse, “Strength and Struggle: Lessons in Charaeter from the Stories of Our Prophets,” for six eonseeutive Tuesdays for the evening elass and rabbi Shlomo Cohen will begin on Wednesday May 18, 11 AM for six eonseeu tive Wednesdays for the morning elass. All elasses will be held at Lubaviteh Edueation eenter, 6619 Sardis Road in Charlotte. “Strength and Struggle is a journey in whieh we gain insight into our own struggles by exam ining the lives of inspiring biblieal heroes and antiheroes,” said Rabbi Levi Kaplan of JLFs edito rial board. “For many, it will fill an important gap in knowledge in the area of biblieal history, and it provides faseinating wisdom from the Talmud and 3,000 years of Jewish literature, to help them deal with life’s struggles on the road to beeoming more effeetive people.” Strength and Struggle spans six eras in biblieal history, to aequaint partieipants with the nuanees of the Israelites’ earliest history and intimate details, as seen in the lives of many of its beloved ehar aeters, ineluding David, Saul, Ruth, Jephthah, Elijah, Elisha, and Jonah. “The eourse is filled with eter nal lessons for life — of struggle and triumph, eourage and humil ity, hope and resilienee,” explains Rabbi Groner “If you’ve ever wanted to meet King David in person, this is about as elose as you’ll eome.” Dr. Simeha Leibowitz, the rep resentative of the World Zionist F ederation to North Ameriean and an expert on leadership and bibli eal studies, eommented about the eourse, “Even great leaders, judges, and kings experienee ehal- lenging eireumstanees and mo ments of weakness from whieh we must learn to emerge even stronger. I am eertain that partiei pants in this program will find this original and faseinating approaeh to biblieal study meaningful and relevant to their lives and to the daily ehallenges they faee.” Like all previous JLI programs. Strength and Struggle is designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, ineluding those without any prior experi- lEvvisH Learning Institute enee or baekground in Jewish learning.
