Try Again
This Class is based on ancient wisdom reinforced through the modern brain research of Carol Dweck. This is a multi-part inquiry into the power of our beliefs, both conscious and subconscious, and how changing even the simplest of them can have profound impact on nearly every aspect of our lives. We will then explore how Judaism reinforces these ideas through our teachings, holidays and practices.
This can be one class or a series with as many as 10 sessions.

“Rabbi, I was absolutely blown away by your three discussions on Yom Kippur.
You have an amazing gift, I am so glad our paths have crossed, and that you have shared that gift with us.”

I had no intention of going to classes yesterday, having decided that the services were powerful and compelling and exactly where I needed to be. But at one point I became so excited that I couldn't keep my mind on the services, so I decided to get up and wander around for a moment. I wandered right into Rabbi Lehrfield's class, one minute before it started. And I'm so glad I did! This one class has completely changed my outlook on my life, my marriage, my everything!
