Some questions are universal to the human experience.
• Is there life after death?
• What happens to the soul after we die?
• What is it like for those who have traveled over to the Great Beyond?
You will find the answers to these and other perplexing questions in JLI’s latest offering - The Journey of the Soul – a six session course commencing 7.45pm Monday evening October 26 or 7.45am Tuesday morning October 27th
As you prepare for the New Year, taking on resolutions to lead a life of greater meaning and significance, please consider registering for this highly acclaimed course. It will redress much of the confusion prevalent in the Jewish community about what happens to us when we die. Many ideas that originate in other religions and belief systems have been popularized in the media and are taken for granted by unassuming Jews. Journey of the Soul will clear up these misconceptions and introduce an authentically Jewish approach that is both surprising and refreshing.
Journey of the Soul will provide spiritual insight into the soul’s journey through life, death, and beyond, while shedding light on the philosophical, emotional, and practical aspects of coping with death and mourning.
Professor Sheldon Solomon of Skidmore College who co-authored the book The Worm at the Core: On the role of Death in Life commented about the JLI course: “This course strikes me as a very fine juxtaposition of ancient theological wisdom with contemporary empirical science. My sense is that this will be an interesting and rewarding educational and personal experience.”
Designed to appeal to people at all levels of Jewish knowledge, Journey of the Soul will give you a broad, bird’s eye view of this vital subject while filling in important gaps in your knowledge.

Mystic vs. Machine Dr Les Rosenthal
".. I was still skeptical about the mystical aspects of Judaism, and I didn’t know what good a blessing could do. I said to him Listen, it’s not my thing… I mean, what does some old guy 3,500 miles away, know about what’s going on in my head?" I know that sounds pretty disrespectful, but that’s where I was coming from at the time.." Hornblass served for 17 years as Justice on the New York State Supreme Court. He is presently a U.S. Administrative Law Judge. " full story
