This spring, Chabad in Coral Gables is launching a new Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) course.
Beginning on Wednesday, May 7, 7:30 p.m., at 1827 Ponce de Leon Blvd., “Colorful Profiles” brings stories to life of intriguing and lesser-known Jewish figures who showed remarkable courage throughout history. Participants will learn how these individuals navigated issues that continue to resonate today.
“Our past imparts critical life lessons, but history may sometimes come across as dry and boring,” said Rabbi Avraham Stolik, director of Chabad. “This course is anything but that.
The stories contained in this course bring the past to life in gripping sagas, many of which seem too impossible to believe — yet they are real.”
The four-session course is divided into four lessons and will delve into 12 fascinating personalities that include high-profile hostages, savvy businesswomen, unlikely converts, and more. Through a Torah-centered approach, participants will gain a richer understanding of some of the historical challenges that people faced in living a Jewish life and how their stories resulted in enduring, impactful legacies.
“After learning about these Jewish heroes, attendees will come away with a greater sense of appreciation for their history and heritage,” Rabbi Stolik said. “These stories are not defined by tragedy and suffering, but what it means to be a proud, resilient Jew.”
He adds that participants will develop a deeper connection to those figures who bravely stood up for their beliefs.
The course will be offered in-person as well as over Zoom. Sign-in information will be provided upon enrollment. Interested students may call 305-490-7572 or visit ChabadGables.com/JLI for registration and for other course-related information.
