Let's face it, these past few years
​​haven't been the easiest of times.

​​

​Join us for a 7-part mini-series focused on Torah
​approaches to spiritual and mental healing

The Torah is our guide to life and our Rabbonim are the shepherds who help us along the path. So many of us are struggling with fear, anxiety, depression, and many other emotional and spiritual difficulties made so many times worse by the state of the world. For many, the emotional and spiritual struggles far exceed the physical struggles.

"Heal, My Soul" is a seven-part mini-series focusing on addressing these tremendously important issues using the timeless teachings of Rebbe Nachman in Likutei Moharan.   Tune into one, some, or all of the classes, to hear Torah, techniques, and guidance from our Rabbonim on how to climb out of the darkness of our times.
