The Art of Marriage

The Art of Marriage The Brand new course from the Jewish Learning Institue, starts this Wednesday night. Visit myjli.com to register.

A Jewish marriage is considered consummated when the bride and groom are secluded together for a few minutes following the marriage ceremony. This intimate space defines the marriage and should remain sacred and exclusive throughout the relationship.

In this exciting new course taught by Mrs. Layah Lipsker of the Jewish Learning Institute, we will discuss a mystical approach and practical ways to form and fortify an exclusive and powerful relationship, with firm, established boundaries, one that is protected against the dangers of physical and emotional affairs.

We look forward to seeing you at Chabad of the North Shore, 44 Burrill St in Swampscott MA, Wednesday night at 7:30pm
