Anshei Lubavitch of Fair Lawn will present “Paradigm Shift: Transformational Life Teachings of the Lubavitcher Rebbe,” a six-session course by the Rohr Jewish Learning Institute. The course is part of a series of local activities in Fair Lawn marking 20 years since the passing of “the Rebbe,” Rabbi Menachem M. Schneerson.

“Paradigm Shift” will be offered in Fair Lawn over six Sundays at 8:00 p.m. beginning May 11, 2014. The course will explore Rabbi Schneerson’s philosophy and outlook, offering participants the chance to see things from a radically different perspective. “Paradigm Shift” addresses questions such as: What were the Rebbe’s central teachings and contributions to Judaism and society? What was his understanding of the human being and what were his hopes for humanity? What stands behind the continued success of the Chabad-Lubavitch movement? And how can we apply these insights toward living a more purposeful life?

“We all want to live up to our inherent design, to make the best of the unique set of skills and circumstances that we were given,” Rabbi Avrohom Bergstein, local JLI instructor in Fair Lawn said.  “‘Paradigm Shift’ is the first step; it’s about visualizing what is possible and seeing how you can make it a reality.”

The program is free to the public. For more information, call 201.362.2712 or visit www.myJLI.com for registration and other course-related information.
