From lofty dreams to practical steps

Build a roadmap with your own life mentor

Launch your mentorship journey with a 10-week program to build your personalized blueprint. Then, dive into advanced tracks to continue growing with the guidance of your mentor.

Stage 1:

Starting the Journey
Step into the story of you. Discover how Judaism views each life as an ongoing narrative, with each chapter uniquely your own. Together, you and your mentor will start building a connection as you explore the insights and tools to help you author the life you want to live.

Stage 2:

Connect With Your Past, Present, and Future
Zoom out and see your life from a bird’s-eye view. You’ll explore the bigger picture of your life, tracing the connections between where you come from, where you are, and where you want to go. Your mentor will help you find strength in your roots and clarity in your goals as you map out the path ahead.

Stage 3:

Discover Your Unique Purpose
What makes you, you? Unlock the essence of who you are—your strengths, individuality, and purpose. This session deepens your relationship with your mentor as they support you in recognizing your potential and developing a clearer sense of self-worth.

Stage 4:

Echoes of the Past – Learning from Legacy
Discover the power of your roots. Knowing where you come from can be a source of strength and resilience. Together you’ll explore the stories and lessons of those who came before you, and how their journeys can inform your own. In collaboration with your mentor, you will draw wisdom from the past to better equip you for life’s challenges.

Stage 5:

Choosing Your Path – Defining Success and Fulfillment
Chart your own course with your mentor’s guidance. What does a meaningful life look like to you? You’ll explore values and decisions that lead to true fulfillment. Drawing on ancient wisdom, you will identify paths to success that align with who you are and who you want to become.

Stage 6:

Core Values – Your Foundations for Life
Your values are the foundation of every decision. Reflect on what matters most and gain tools to make choices that align with the person you want to become. Your mentor will help you translate timeless Jewish teachings into actionable insights for your life.

Stage 7:

Vision for Tomorrow – Setting Goals and Making Choices
Bring your future into focus, hand in hand with your mentor. Where do you see yourself in the future? As the introductory course comes to a close, you and your mentor have developed a meaningful connection. You're now ready to work together to outline your goals and create a roadmap to achieve them, turning your dreams into actionable steps.
