In this class, we examined the powerful role of emotions in our spiritual lives. We know that emotions drive most decisions, and while reframing or thinking differently can help create feelings, the Tanya offers a deeper insight: the love and awe of God we seek are already within us. Rather than creating these emotions from scratch, our task is to uncover what's already there. This makes serving God “very near to us,” as the Torah says. It's not about striving for something distant but recognizing and revealing our innate connection to Him. A weekly class.

In this class, we explored the idea that all sins stem from a type of delusion. We discussed how, in subtle ways, each of us can be drawn into a form of idolatry—not necessarily in the traditional sense but by placing too much significance on things like politics, work, or other aspects of daily life. In doing so, we lose sight of the essential truth that everything originates from God. Our conversation focused on shifting our perspective: Judaism is about much more than just the rewards and punishments associated with our actions. It's about building a deep relationship with God and recognizing the true nature of the world around us. This relationship, grounded in understanding and connection, is where the beauty of our faith lies. A weekly class.
