Chanukah Family Day of Learning and Fun

On the last day of Chanukah, the Barkai Center held a special day of learning dedicated to marital counseling for the Barkai rabbis and their wives.  The tools that they learned will be helpful to their own marriages as well as help them in their marital counseling in their communities.  The children had entertainment and activities planned for them – including a magician, movie, jewelry making, medical clown who did balloon making, inflatables and more - so that their parents could learn.  It was a day that brought the whole Barkai family together.

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.
