SoulQuest - Enlightenment is closer than you think

Sometimes it seems that running from critical questions is the safe and easy way. But questioning the meaning of life is very legitimate and there are even some mighty fine answers.

Every one of us has to deal with the inner self, with the hungry soul that’s always looking for more knowledge. This confrontation with the harsh reality of mortality, whether through aging, a health crisis, or an encounter with death, makes us wonder whether our life has any meaning.

It is during these existential crises that our tradition reaches out to us with solace and comfort, asserting emphatically that while our bodies may die, our soul is eternal, and this world is but one step in its journey.

The Jewish Learning Institute is introducing an exciting new course under the title SoulQuest which promises to take you on a journey through life death and beyond.



The Dix Hill Jewish Chai Center will be hosting the JLI SoulQuest course and we’re very excited. You can visit our website at www.thechaicenter.com and enroll to the next semester because enlightenment is closer than you think.

Matchmaker Matchmaker Make me a Match!

Did you try J-Date and found out that it’s not the place for you? We want to introduce you to a new and refreshing circle of single Jewish people who had enough with internet dating and the random bars.



Our singles are through with just “dating”. They earnestly want to meet someone, their soul mate, and get married. They want to know about the other person even before the first meeting. They want an atmosphere that is personalized and confidential. In a world where there are more people, we have also created a world where we are distant from each other. In this world, more people suffer from loneliness and the frustration of not knowing where to begin to find their soul mate. We are going to make every effort to help you.


All you have to do is fill out the online application and tell us about yourself. All the information is strictly confidential and only viewed by the Rabbi and his assistant, Sharon. Remember that your match is also answering these questions. Send us two recent photos (smile!!!) and two references, not from your bubbie, get a Rabbi if possible.


Requirements? If you are Jewish and single you can join. You can be of any age. You can be at any level of observance and should indicate where you are and what level your match should be. We try to match individuals within a ten-year span from their age. And most of all, we seriously pay attention to who you are looking to meet from the description you sent. Good Luck!
