A 

new course for 
women, Well-
Connected: It’s Not 
What You Know. It’s What You 
Do, explores how while we 
often think faith is a core 
set of beliefs surrounded by 
ceremony, Judaism 
is, in fact, less a 
system of belief 
than a system of 
action.
This November, 
Chabad Jewish 
Center of 
Bloomfield Hills 
launches a new 
course for women, 
Well-Connected. 
In this seven-part monthly 
lunch-and-learn series, Well-
Connected examines how the 
do’s and don’ts reveal the 
soul of Jewish ritual life and 
how each deed connects us 
to something far beyond 
ourselves. 
From the mysteries of the 
mezuzah and the kosher diet 
to the recitation of blessings 
and prayers; from what we 
owe to and how we perceive 
each other to the meanings 
of lifecycle ceremonies 
marking major milestones 
— and so much more — 
the class will delve into the 
rationale, relevance, prac-
tical applications, beauty 
and richness of the divinely 
inspired real-life messages of 
Jewish practice. 

 “As a people, we have 
been gifted with a unique 
way of connecting to the 
very essence of our existence 
— our life force, our souls. 
Through study and practice 
we realize the purpose and 
function of the 
mitzvot, enabling 
us to soar freely on 
the wings of grati-
tude,” says Mushky 
Dubov, instructor 
of the course. “I 
invite you to join 
me in discovering 
how each Jewish 
ritual is trans-
formative in its 
ability to connect the dots 
between heaven and earth. 
This will be an incredibly 
well-connected journey, 
filled with remarkably ful-
filling, impactful actions.”
This course will not only 
be a learning opportunity, 
but a chance to connect with 
fellow Jewish women over a 
delicious lunch and mean-
ingful conversation.
Well-Connected will be 
offered the second Tuesday 
of each month, beginning 
Nov. 9, 12:30-1:30 p.m. at 
the Dubov home. To regis-
ter and for more informa-
tion, visit www.bhchabad.

Well-Connected explores Judaism 
as a system of action.
