Course Description :

Searching for ways to find balance in life is a recurring theme in modern living. Concerns about living a balanced life steadily increase as people grow to understand that they must find ways to pay attention to all aspects of their lives: family, work, recreation, and more. But as this understanding spreads, so do the difficulties in achieving the desired balance. 

Throughout this course participants will study Jewish and other modern texts related to the various elements of human life that require focus and the challenges associated with the task of keeping them in balance. 

The six-lesson course is organized into six topics of focus:  

1.           Focus on Physical and Mental Health  

2.           Focus on Spiritual Growth  

3.           Focus on Relationships  

4.           Focus on Work  

5.      Focus on Community 

6.           Finding the Balance
