The website description of the course reads: Drawing on the wisdom of Chasidic teaching, the most basic building blocks of existence are reexamined from the bottom up, revolutionizing our understanding of life, reality, and our place in the world.

“I find that many people, particularly in Tallahassee, are looking to deepen their experience of life. This JLI course invites participants to live more deeply, by deepening their thinking, insight, and awareness of the fundamentals of life and of our universe," said Rabbi Oirechman. 

What Is? explores six of the most intruiging questions that have ever challenged mankind: Is the world real? Is time travel possible? Why does evil exist? Who is G-d? What is consciousness? Are we bound by fate?

“Our goal is to invite participants to seek out a deeper understanding of their world. By doing so, we hope to give people the tools to experience a richer, deeper, and more meaningful life," explained Rabbi Zalman Abraham, of JLI’s Brooklyn headquarters.

Like all JLI programs, this course is designed to appeal to people at all levels of knowledge, including those without any prior experience or background in Jewish learning. All JLI courses are open to the public, and attendees need not be affiliated with a particular synagogue, temple or other house of worship.
