In starting out our life together, Aida and I have signed up for a series of classes at the local Chabad center. For those of you who are unfamiliar with who the Chabad are, they are a sect of Hassidic Jews who do a lot of outreach to help nonpracticing Jews get back in touch with their Jewishness. The class we are taking was created by Simon Jacobson who wrote a boot called Toward a Meaningful Life. I had just finished reading this book and was excited to take the course. Luckily, Aida was also curious and excited to attend. We have to two sessions so far and have covered how each person has a unique mission in this world and how to try to figure out what that is as well as what a healthy relationship/marriage entails. We still have 4 more sessions to go which I am looking forward to. The classes are taught by Rabbi Arik Wolf who is originally from Australia. I was surprised to learn that there are actually a few major populations of Jews in Australia.
