Colorful Profiles brings to life 12 men and women whose heroism impacted world Jewry forever.

Chabad Center for Jewish Life is excited to launch a new Rohr Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) course. Colorful Profiles brings stories to life of intriguing and lesser-known Jewish figures who showed remarkable courage throughout history. Participants will learn how these individuals navigated issues that continue to resonate today.

The four-session course is divided into four lessons and will delve into twelve fascinating personalities that include high-profile hostages, savvy businesswomen, unlikely converts, and more. Through a Torah-centered approach, participants will gain a richer understanding of some of the historical challenges that people faced in living a Jewish life and how their stories resulted in enduring, impactful legacies.

Like all JLI courses, Colorful Profiles is open to adults of all ages and is geared toward every level of knowledge, including those who have no background in Hebrew or Judaism. Participants need not be affiliated with a synagogue to attend.
