JLI Video – Biblical Reflections Lesson 1

This week, the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) launched its spring course, “Biblical Reflections: Finding Yourself in the Book of Genesis.” The six-session course examines classic stories from Bereishis in-depth, shedding a modern light on their timeless lessons.


This video prefaces the first lesson and is meant to trigger a discussion about the nature of Gan Eden. What would the perfect life be like? What is the secret to meaning and happiness? How does this help us understand the special purpose for which man and woman were created?

    What a shame!

    Why not bring Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky as the example?

    Or why not open up the National Enquiror or any other such tabloid and take an explosive story and use it as your opening to a JEWISH LEARNING INSTITUTE’S PREMIERE???!!!

    Perhaps the divorce of Mel Gibson after 28 years of marriage?
    Perhaps Brad and Angelina?

    Are we Orthodox? The must “ultra orthodox group”?

    Or are we a Jewish sect that has made the greatest change from “old fashioned” orthodoxy to conservatdoxy!
