T

his fall, Rabbi Levi Dubov 
of Chabad Jewish Center 
of Bloomfield Hills will 
offer Worrier to Warrior, a 
new six-session course by the 
Rohr Jewish Learning Institute 
(JLI) that offers Jewish realistic 
spiritual insight into the battle 
against negative emotions and 
the path toward healthy emo-
tions and happiness.
The course combines positive 
psychology with Jewish wisdom 

to take on some of life’
s challeng-
es, such as anxiety, guilt, shame, 
suffering, relationships and fear 
of inauthenticity — in light of 
the notion that a purposeful life 
provides the key to well-being. 
 The course is being offered in 
partnership with Jewish Family 
Service, the Jewish Federation of 
Metropolitan Detroit’
s “We Need 
to Talk” initiative and Friendship 
Circle’
s UMatter division.
 “In this course, we will learn 

the nature of life’
s challenges 
by understanding our lives in 
a deeper context, giving us the 
tools to help ourselves and our 
families to live happier and 
healthier lives,
” Dubov said.
The course is being offered 
with three options and runs 
for six consecutive weeks: Six 
Wednesday mornings beginning 
Nov. 13, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at 
Jewish Family Service in West 
Bloomfield; six Wednesday 
evenings beginning Nov. 
13, 7:30-9 p.m. at the Jewish 
Federation of Metropolitan 
Detroit; and six Friday 
mornings, Dec. 6, 13, Jan. 10, 17, 
24 and 31, 11 a.m.-12:30 p.m. at 
Federation.
Worrier to Warrior is 
accredited in Michigan for up 
to 15 CEUs for social workers, 
psychologists, nurses and 
medical professionals. The 
course is designed to appeal to 
people at all levels of knowledge, 
including those without any 
prior experience or background 
in Jewish learning.
