AishDas Monsey Emunah and Mussar Workshop for Teenagers
The workshops will be led by Rabbi Yosef Gavriel Bechhofer
A six-hour (four 1.5 hour sessions) workshop for teenage boys is now open for registration. The workshop will take place over four days, August 8th to August 11th (4-7 Menachem Av) from 6:00pm to 7:30pm in Monsey.
It
is no secret that high school students across the spectrum of
Orthodoxy have questions and issues that often remain unanswered over
the course of the school year. These are questions of Emunah (basic
and core beliefs and the evidence of their authenticity) and Mussar
(purpose and meaning in life). These will be addressed in the
workshop. Moreover, often during the school year open questions and
questioning are discouraged. The workshop will allow and address any
and all questions that participants raise.
Topics
that will be addressed will include:
-
The Evidence for the existence of God.
-
Evidence of the divine origin of Torah.
-
The Age of the Universe and Evolution.
-
The 13 Core Beliefs of the Rambam.
-
The purpose, mission and destiny of the individual, of society and of the universe.
-
The happiness of Emunah and Bitachon.
The
cost is
$54.00 per
participant. To
register, or
