NEXT GENesis
In Bereshit, the Story Began. In Us, It Continues.

Every life is a story unfolding- but not every story is fully understood. What if the deeper currents of your journey were already inscribed within the Torah's opening sagas? The Rosh Chodesh Society invites you to a new seven-part course, NEXT GENesis, where the early narratives of Genesis emerge not as distant beginnings but as a living reflection of the human soul. Through stories of longing and choice, fracture and renewal, discover a more intimate understanding of yourself, your purpose, and the path unfolding before you. With brilliance, warmth, and practical wisdom, this course gently reveals the deeper truths woven within these narratives- the story beneath the stories- inviting you to step into them and continue them with clarity, courage, and soul.
