Experience JLI

Are relationships ever easy?

If there’s one thing that matters across all areas of life, it’s relationships. But people are complicated, and relationships can get messy. In this first-ever Townhouse meets JLI class, we’ll explore classic Jewish texts to uncover skills for empathy, active listening, agreeable disagreement, interpersonal optimism, constructive criticism, and effective relationship repair. 

Relationships don’t just happen—they’re nurtured. This course empowers you to enhance, enrich, and nurture all your interpersonal relationships—at home, at work, and beyond. Happy people-ing!
