Facilitated by Rabbi Yisroel Roll
Rosh Hashanah is more than the beginning of a new year — it's an invitation to begin again.
This thought-provoking workshop explores the intersection of Jewish wisdom and modern neuroscience to uncover how lasting personal change is possible. Why do so many of us remain stuck in patterns of anxiety, self-doubt, perfectionism, or the persistent feeling that we're "not good enough"? How are these patterns formed, and what does it actually take to change them?
Drawing on contemporary neuroscience, research on neuroplasticity and trauma, and timeless Torah insights, Rabbi Yisroel Roll will examine how our experiences shape the brain, influence our sense of identity, and affect the choices we make every day. Participants will discover how the themes of Rosh Hashanah offer a powerful framework for breaking free from limiting patterns, strengthening intentionality, and creating meaningful, lasting change.
Whether you're looking to deepen your High Holiday experience or begin the new year with greater clarity and purpose, this workshop will offer both practical tools and a fresh perspective on personal growth.
