Overview:
Ever Since Yud Shevat 5779, celebrating 70 Years of the Rebbe’s Nesius, the Always Connected division of Or Vechom has been creating classes on multiple topics for community leaders to bring to the women in their communities.
Each and every class is unique. The course material covers a variety of the Rebbe’s teachings on many different topics and themes. In general, each class is based on either a Sicha, a letter or a collection of Sichos or letters.
These workshops have been enjoyed by over 100 communities across 5 different continents. The course materials have been adapted to suit traditional women's groups, high schools, seminaries, alumni groups, and friends simply wanting to connect over learning.
We are now proud to present the "event library" containing all of our previous courses. Although the classes were curated for specific dates on the Chabad calendar, the topics are relevant all year round.
How it works:
Choose a topic from the selection below that you would like to bring to your community. (You can see more details on the topic of each class by clicking the class below.)
Once you sign up for the class you will receive an email containing a link to a page with all of the material and any instructions that you may need.
Each class includes a facilitator's guide for the teacher and a student guide for the participants. The facilitators guide will assist you in delivering the class. A PowerPoint presentation will also serve as a valuable resource to enhance the lesson and make it easier for participants to follow along.
The style and structure differ from course to course and each one comes with different additional resources, we suggest you take a look at the details below and make an informed decision of what class would work for your community.
