Kabbalah and the Hidden Architecture of You
Reincarnation, Soulmates, Dreams, Names: What These and Other Mysteries Say about the Design of Your Life
 

Why do soulmates exist, and how do you find yours? What actually happens to your soul when you sleep? Have you lived before, and if so, what did you come back to finish? This six-week course takes the most fascinating ideas in kabbalah and unlocks them with the clarity and depth they’ve always deserved. You’ll leave with a completely new way of seeing yourself and everything around you.

The Missing Piece

The Missing Piece
The Foundation beneath Israel’s Central Place in Jewish Life
 

Many Jews feel a deep connection to Israel. They care about it, stand up for it, and feel its importance, even if they have never fully explored why. The Missing Piece reveals Israel’s deeper place in Judaism, beyond politics, history, and headlines. It gives students the Torah framework that brings the whole picture into focus.
Chew on This
SPRING 2027 — 4 LESSONS
Chew on This
The Meaning, Heritage, and Soul of Jewish Food
 

In this four-lesson minicourse from JLI, you’ll discover why food sits at the very heart of Jewish identity: its laws, its history, its culture, and its intriguing profound spiritual dimension. You’ll trace the surprising origins of Jewish cuisine, decode the logic and philosophy behind the kosher laws, pull back the curtain on the world’s most sophisticated food certification system, and discover what kabbalah says is hidden inside your midnight snack.

This course will offer credits for doctors, nurses, and dietitians.
