Barkai to Offer Mini Training Courses in Localities around Israel

mini course

In response to requests from many cities and towns Barkai has developed a mini training course designed for city and towns in particular locations. The course is based on a core of 6 sessions (which can always be expanded) which are given by Barkai’s faculty on a range of topics including mental health, marriage counseling, drug and alcohol addiction and conflict resolution. To date, this course has been given in Southern Mount Hevron (including approximately 12 settlements) and is scheduled to be given in Jerusalem and in the Shomron.

The Barkai Center for Practical Rabbinics aims to improve the fabric of Israeli society by intensively training Israeli rabbis in all aspects of communal rabbinics so that they can lead their communities to a more meaningful connection with Judaism and act as a unifying force in Israeli society.
