New Judaism Website



TorahLab.org

From "About Us:"

Jewish learning is emerging as a powerful force in contemporary culture, fostering identity and unity among Jews. Yesterday’s challenge was to get people interested in Jewish learning. Today we must also find new and creative ways to service those that already are. Under the guidance of Rabbi Yaacov Haber, TorahLab is bringing together educational and media specialists to create dynamic learning experiences for adults of all backgrounds and levels. These outstanding programs, ideal for school curriculum and home study, form an exciting new approach to Jewish learning.. The TorahLab curriculum will present a comprehensive course of study for exploring the breadth and depth of Judaism.

THE SUBJECT AREAS INCLUDE:

Foundation
Lifestyle
Calendar
Lifecycle
Family
Community

The founder and driving force behind TorahLab is Rabbi Yaacov Haber.
