Developing Attitudes
that Generate Success
We tend to believe that success is determined by life circumstances – that our character traits, talents, and potential are G-d-given gifts that ultimately define how successful we will be. The Torah view challenges this idea, explaining that it is in fact our attitudes that are at the root of our life experiences. Examining our life’s purpose within the context of the bigger picture will enable us to develop attitudes that generate success, regardless of our “gifts” and “life circumstances.”
This Week of Learning will be an exploration of the Torah sources that can guide us in viewing life from that perspective, and will help empower us to actualize our potential and hopefully grow beyond.
This Summer Week of Learning will take place at
