FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Six-week course offers practical tools to improve family bonds, workplace dynamics, and friendships
(Coral Gables)— Chabad in Coral Gables has announced it will host a groundbreaking six-week course, Nurturing Relationships, offering students practical wisdom for improving any interpersonal relationship. The first of six weekly sessions begins on Wednesday, November 13th, 7:30 PM at 1827 Ponce de Leon Blvd with instructor Rabbi Avraham Stolik.
Developed by the globally recognized Rohr Jewish Learning Institute, Nurturing Relationships draws on thirty centuries of Jewish teaching to deliver effective, relevant tools for better connections today—from empathy, active listening, and healthy disagreement to managing reactions around flawed behavior, being a good influence, and achieving forgiveness.
In a distracted age, this course offers a roadmap back to genuine human connection. “We see too many people with plenty of friends, family, and connections still longing for more closeness in their relationships,” says Rabbi Stolik. “This course gives participants effective tools they can apply to cultivate real depth and meaning in all their relationships.”
The course’s six sessions combine text-based learning with engaging discussions and real-world applications. Each week, participants examine one core relationship skill in depth and come away with a clear understanding of the topic—plus real tools they can use that same day.
“One week, participants might see what it takes to forgive a loved one after feeling betrayed,” says Rabbi Stolik. “Another week, they’ll learn how to provide guidance or feedback without seeming arrogant—or how to apply active listening skills in every conversation.”
The course will be offered in-person as well as over Zoom. Sign-in information will be provided upon enrollment. The course also offers up to 9.0 continuing education credits for medical practitioners, psychologists and mental health professionals.
Rabbi Stolik says the course invites community members of all backgrounds to explore effective Jewish wisdom for enhanced relationships. “Everyone is welcome; you don’t need any Jewish learning background to fully appreciate this course,” he says. “Whether you’re looking to enhance your marriage, improve workplace interactions, or get closer with friends, Nurturing Relationships is a goldmine of wisdom that works.”
