Jewish history course

The rise and fall of some of the world’s most powerful cultures Rockaway - A six week Jewish history course, including the struggles with ancient Greece and Rome, prosperity during the Golden Age and terror wrought by the Almohads and Crusaders is offered at the Chabad Center of Northwest NJ, One Torah Way, in Rockaway Township. The course curriculum will encompass the renaissance of European Jewry. The course will start on Wednesday, April 25 at 8 p.m. The course will also be offered at the Mountain Lakes Club, 18 Lake Drive, starting on Tuesday April 24 at 7:45 p.m. The course is offered in conjunction with the nationally accredited JLI (Jewish Learning Institute). Rabbi Asher Herson, Chabad’s Regional Director, will instruct the course. “Understanding the past gives us great insight into the present. For example, the radical and violent movements we face today continue an age old philosophy and strategy which they plainly emulate. This course will not only help identify such patterns; it will highlight the spiritual and moral principles necessary to overcome the intimidation of persecution as well as the snares of success”. Fee for the course is $60 per student, including textbook and materials, and $100 per couple. Limited scholarships are available.
