The Executive Learning Program is a one-on-one
learning session designed for Jewish professionals
with a lot of curiosity but not a lot of time. Sessions are held weekly at the location that's best
for you: your office, your home, our library, or the
Starbucks on your corner.
You'll meet with a learned rabbi who will answer
questions you have about the Torah, the Talmud, Jewish
Law, and inspire new ones along the way.
To find out more about what the Executive Learning
program has to offer and to hear first-hand accounts,
select the video you want to see. You can also see our press page for press releases.
But don't take our word for it. Take theirs...

"We’re not studying about just any group of people. These are our ancestors. You get a great
sense of who you are. It makes you much more connected. It's a feeling of being closer. To my heritage. To God. To My feelings."
Be Connected.
Whether you want to be more connected to
the past or bring Jewish principles into your
daily life, you'll spend quality time with a
scholar who connects you to the Torah, and
connects the Torah to your life.

"The weekly portion is still my favorite, and what's remarkable is that it's always related to something that's happening in my own life."
Lessons for today.
Who would have thought that an ancient text
could have so much relevance to today's executive
lifestyles? The issues we face today—ethics,
economics, politics—are also found in the weekly
Torah portions and in the Talmud. Who knows -
you just might learn a thing or two.

"It broke up the day, and things I
was worried about—legitimate
business issues— studying the Torah
took my mind off the stress."
Take a break.
We spend our lives focused on work, but
rarely get to reflect on ourselves, our
spirituality, and the philosophies that
comprise Jewish thought. Taking just one
hour per week can provide an incredible
amount of insight and understanding on
what's happening in your life and in the
world you live.
Gary Goldstein
Chairman & CEO
Headway Corporate Resources
"What is a good Jew? Do you have to be
religious? And what does being religious
mean? Does it mean somebody who's
observant? Or somebody who's just a
good person? We talk about the
randomness of life, and we talk about whether we, in fact, have free will."
Get philosophical.
There are a lot of questions about what it means
to be a Jew in your everyday life. And then there's
what the Torah says about some of life's biggest
questions: the afterlife, free will, natural disasters,
good and evil. We welcome lively and realistic
discussions on questions of all sizes.

"My grandparents were pretty Jewish, my father was a little Jewish, I was barely Jewish, and my kids were well on their way to becoming...don't care if they're Jewish or not. Directionally, that was a very bad trend."
Spirituality matters.
Ambition got you where you are today. Let Aish help you get even further as you explore beyond
what you think is important to get to the things
that really matter. Whether you accept what
Judaism teaches or not, you will have the
understanding on what Jewish spirituality means.
