Over a decade ago at BINA (a Sydney-based organisation dedicated to adult Jewish Learning), a new weekly class began. A great group of women gathered to listen to, discuss and explore ideas of Personal growth and character development. These lectures discussed relevant and contemporary life strategies using ancient Jewish wisdom and their modern-day application.
Our sages teach that one learns the most from one's students. This is so true in my case and I am indebted to all those that attend these sessions. They have greatly strengthened and enhanced my own personal growth journey, and in this book I offer the highlights of these lectures in the form of articles to readers in the hope that they may similarly enrich their own lives.
