Academy of Jewish Learning & Living 

The Academy of Jewish Learning and Living is a project of the Chabad Center in Natick through which students of all ages and backgrounds come in quest of a closer relationship to Jewish texts and traditions and , ultimately, to G-d.  The Academy of Jewish Learning and Living and our on-going collaboration with the National Jewish Learning Institute (JLI) have been a great success, enabling us to provide quality educational experiences, festive holiday celebrations and a variety of special events to the entire MetroWest Jewish Community.

The JLI is the largest institute of adult learning of its kind, offering classes in over 250 cities around the world.  The JLI's professionally concieved courses are taught through interactive dialogue accompanied by dynamic textbooks and audio-visual presentations.  JLI courses are designed for students ranging from first-time learners to those with years of prior study.  The Instutute follows a powerful path of discovery and depth in order to touch the Jewish soul of its learners.

The Chabad Center runs programs from the JLI and the Academy of Jewish Learning and Living simultaneously.  The Academy of Jewish Learning and Living offers courses, workshops, holiday programs, lectures, special events for adults, teens and families.

If you are a returning participant, welcome back!  If our programs are new to you, please feel free to contact Rabbi Fogelman at rabbi@chabadnatick.com with questions and concerns.  And please be assured that the spiritual nourishment of our sacred texts and holidays are open to you no matter what your level of previous Jewish education or observance.

Join us!  We look forward to studying and celebrating with you.
