Meaningful Life Skills with Rabbi Simon Jacobson

What would life be like without art and music and other creative expressions? Are the arts simply a form of sensual stimulation and entertainment, a type of escape from the doldrums and monotony? Or is there something more to it? Please join Rabbi Jacobson on a fascinating journey into the innermost dimensions of your soul and supra-conscious, and discover new forms of expression that resonate with and reflect your inner core. Learn how conventional language expresses only your surface, superficial life, while the arts open up your deepest transcendent states. Partake in this powerful presentation and come away with a new appreciation for the power of art to transform your life.

How can we balance individuality and the greater good of the whole? Do we need to compromise ourselves for the benefit of the community, or the other way around? How do we avoid diversity turning into divisiveness and conflict? -- a question that is particularly pronounced in these polarized times. Can diversity work in harmony with inclusion? Please join Rabbi Jacobson in this poignant presentation in which he outlines a psycho/spiritual model -- based on Kabbalsitic mysticism -- of discovering the secret of inter-connectivity amidst diverse multitudes. Through demonstrating the parallels between the human body, nature and metaphysics, learn how every healthy organism and system is driven by the paradox of finding harmony within diversity.

Every one of us has developed armor and defense mechanisms to protect ourselves from hostile and predatory forces around us. But what often happens is that your armor becomes so thick, and the masks you wear become so strong, that it gets difficult for you to let anyone in and to let yourself out. Even worse: at times your armor becomes your identity, and you may even lose sight of your own inner gentleness. This is especially true for one who has suffered sustained abuse and pain. The wounds cause us to lock up to avoid any further distress. We lose our trust in people and in ourselves; fear and insecurity can dominate our lives. And the implications can be devastating: With our walls up it becomes increasingly difficult to build trusting, intimate relationships. But all is not lost. Please join Rabbi Jacobson as he discusses ways to preserve your tenderness even as you protect yourself from threatening forces around you. Discover how to access -- and maintain -- the softness of your heart and soul in an often difficult and challenging world. You have incredible reservoirs of beauty within yourself. It would be a shame if it remains trapped beneath the layers upon layers of protective gear. It''s time to reclaim yourself; to celebrate your vulnerability; and to reunite with that beautiful, soft side inside of you, waiting to be freed.

Child rearing is fraught with challenges. Every parent will be faced with difficulties, many of which will be unexpected, in bringing up a child. Children are also different from one another, as are parents. All of us have our shortcomings and weaknesses as we have our strengths. Humans also fluctuate. And there is no such thing as a professional parent; all parents are amateurs learning on the job. With all these variables, how can we become better parents? What methods can we employ to produce the best possible children? Please join Rabbi Jacobson as he addresses specific ways you as a parent can incorporate to both preempt problems as well as address them as they arise. Discover an all encompassing formula coupled with principles and specific skills to deal with any given challenge in a healthy and balanced way, to create an exquisite home and beautiful children.

If our homes are our gardens and children are their fruits and flowers, parents are the gardeners. Like gardeners, parents are charged with the vital role of creating a fertile environment, providing all the nurturing nutrients and protecting from toxic pollutants, to nourish and ensure that children will blossom and flourish. Please join Rabbi Jacobson in The Sacred Mission of a Parent, where he addresses the special gift and responsibility parents carry in shaping healthy and productive children, with practical methods that every parent can employ to be the best possible gardener he or she can be.

Children are our most precious commodity. Every good parent wants to bring up the best possible child. Children also represent our future. How we raise our children will impact how they will raise their children. Therefore, our parenting has perpetual, generational implications. But the big question is this: How do we raise healthy, wholesome children? What can we do to assure that our children will grow up in the best possible way -- confident, kind, focused on the greater good -- living up to our highest standards? This is particularly challenging in our turbulent times, faced with so many options and distractions. In this first of a three-part new course, How to Raise Happy Children, Rabbi Jacobson addresses the root of it all: what is the true nature of a child. After all, we cannot produce healthy and happy children if we don't first define the very psyche and soul of a child. Once we appreciate what makes a child tick, the unique personality of a child and his/her needs (in contrast to those of an adult), we then can identify what we must do to nourish, nurture and invigorate the child to thrive, flourish and blossom into a healthy adult. Like a flower seed that requires water and fertile soil, providing the nutrients for the plant to grow, a child needs psycho/spiritual and emotional nutrients to ensure its growth and actualization of its great potential.

Earth reflects the grounded, down to earth personality type. Earth is the foundation of life -- the solid, unwavering bedrock that provides the security and trust upon which all life thrives.
