On the quest for meaning, make sure you get what you need. The Jewish heart and soul instinctively seeks and longs for the spiritual nourishment it needs. That's clear.

But it's not always clear where to find truths and teachings you can take with you everyday...the Soul Tools that help you live better, everyday.

Rabbi Avraham Arieh and Rachel Trugman have been teaching thousands about Soul Tools and dozens of other important Jewish spiritual concepts for over 30 years. The Trugmans began Ohr Chadash to share creative, joyous, and non-coercive educational programs that allow participants to explore Judaism at their own pace and according to their own interests.

Our programs and events reveal the richness, relevancy and inner meaning of Jewish identity, from the practical to the mystical. We offer a wide variety of classes, seminars, concerts, Shabbatons, home hospitality, holiday programs, leadership training, tours, counseling and social action projects. Ohr Chadash programs unify heart and mind, and help train participants to take an active role in their Jewish communities.

Over the years Ohr Chadash has organized and participated in programs with tens of thousands of participants and maintains a strong alumni base. Participants are empowered and inspired to return to their home communities where they get involved and take on leadership roles. Many subsequently return to Israel and further strengthen their bonds with Israel and Ohr Chadash.

NEW BOOK PREVIEW
The Mystical
Nature of Light

Coming Spring of 2008

When the concept of spiritual light is mentioned, a number of thoughts and mental pictures immediately come to mind: holiness, purity, Divine revelation, enlightenment, intellect, hope, joy and peace. Yet all these ideas are somewhat intangible and ethereal, making the idea of light both mysterious and at times mystical.

The Jewish tradition is replete with these associations and connotations, and in fact, the concept of light conjures up these same images universally. In the physical sense, light is associated with life, warmth, comfort, growth and the basic ability to see and function.
