what OHT stands for

Ohr HaTorah (“The Light of the Teaching”) has two focuses: Providing a Center for Wisdom, and offering online Jewish religious Shabbat and Holiday services and programs.

Leaves Shadow

 As a Center for Wisdom, we offer (starting summer 2024) online, both live and video-on-demand learning opportunities to master skills for good interpersonal relationships, inner life growth, and lives of depth in the spiritual search for meaning and purpose.

 

The basics of such wisdom is understood as Virtue (our moral character, how we comport ourselves), Rationality and Reasoning (thinking well and communicating with others thoughtfully), and Insight and Transformation (understanding and transforming our inner lives). Further reaches of wisdom includes guidance in the life of depth.

 

The wisdom we teach integrates teachings from world religions and spiritual traditions as well as various schools of thought in philosophy and psychology that teach practical and spiritual wisdom for human growth and transformation.

 

Much of this wisdom is consolidated in Wisdom Works, a practical approach to the skills of virtue, rationality and insight formulated by Rabbi Finley.

 

Ohr HaTorah also provides weekly Shabbat online gatherings, open to all. In these gatherings, we have a brief religious service, and then offer teachings that address the concerns of the Center for Wisdom – virtue, thinking well, inner life work and the path of the spiritual search. We study Torah with a focus on the inner life, archetypal-psychology dimensions. From time to time we will discuss current events, focusing on a rational, fact based understanding of unfolding events, and engage in moral analysis.

 

We will also provide services and teachings for the major Jewish holidays, along with additional study on Jewish religious topics, with a focus on the inner spiritual dimension.
