A monthly journey exploring life's deepest questions through Kabbalah, Chassidus, and modern psychology.About this EventThe Voice Running Your Life Isn't Necessarily You.A Special Pre–High Holiday Human ExperienceHave you ever argued with yourself?Part of you wants to change.Another part resists.Part of you wants to forgive.Another part wants to stay angry.Part of you wants to grow.Another part wants what's comfortable.Why?Most of us assume this inner conflict means something is wrong with us.Kabbalah offers a radically different possibility.What if the struggle itself is revealing something extraordinary about who you really are?Join us as we explore one of the most profound ideas in Chassidus—an idea that completely transforms the way we understand inner conflict, choice, and lasting personal growth.Whether you're trying to break an old habit, understand yourself more deeply, or simply live with greater intention, this evening will offer a new way of seeing yourself.Timed just weeks before Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, this special Human Experience will also explore how these ideas transform the way we approach the High Holidays. Through meditation, music, and an intimate exploration of several of the prayers, we’ll prepare not simply to attend the High Holidays—but to experience them with greater depth, presence, and personal meaning.No prior Jewish knowledge required.Expect an Evening of• Thought-provoking conversation• Ancient wisdom made practical• Guided meditation & live music• A deeper journey into the prayers of the High Holidays• Live audience Q&A• Wine and light bitesDoors open at 7:30 PMProgram begins promptly at 7:45 PMYou'll Discover• Why knowing better doesn't always lead to doing better.• The two souls according to Tanya—and why they change everything.• Why willpower alone rarely creates lasting change.• The hidden force behind recurring habits and patterns.• Why the High Holidays are ultimately about uncovering who you are—not becoming somebody else.• How to approach some of the most powerful Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur prayers so they become a personal experience rather than simply words on a page.Continue the JourneyOctober 6The Courage to Be SeenA Night of Kabbalah & Meditation on Vulnerability, Bittul, and Becoming Fully Alive.About the SeriesThe Human ExperienceA monthly journey exploring life's deepest questions through Kabbalah, Chassidus, and modern psychology.Ancient Wisdom for the Modern Soul.Hosted by Rabbi Mendel SimonsFounder, YJP Los AngelesCome curious.Leave seeing your life differently. - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/los-angeles/kabbalah-why-do-i-keep-doing-this/100001994108088974 - **Event Categories**: health-wellness, meditation - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes - Location: Young Jewish Professionals - Los Angeles - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 25, max: 50, currency: USD ## Event venue details - **city**: Los Angeles - **state**: CA - **country**: United States - **location**: Young Jewish Professionals - Los Angeles - **lat**: 34.0626102 - **long**: -118.3621043 - **full address**: Young Jewish Professionals - Los Angeles, 6100 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, United States ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Kabbalah: Why Do I Keep Doing This? - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/338f11e3af821e7e6de6eca607568040895ea3c18201ef44aee6eea5e6c34c62-rimg-w1200-h802-dc050505-gmir.jpg?v=1784198830 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Kabbalah: Why Do I Keep Doing This? being held? - **A:** Kabbalah: Why Do I Keep Doing This? takes place on Tue, 01 Sep, 2026 at 07:30 pm to Tue, 01 Sep, 2026 at 09:00 pm at Young Jewish Professionals - Los Angeles, 6100 Wilshire Boulevard, Los Angeles, United States. - **Q**: Who is organizing Kabbalah: Why Do I Keep Doing This?? - **A:** Kabbalah: Why Do I Keep Doing This? is organized by Young Jewish Professionals of Los Angeles. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Kabbalah: Why Do I Keep Doing This?", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events2/banners/338f11e3af821e7e6de6eca607568040895ea3c18201ef44aee6eea5e6c34c62-rimg-w1200-h802-dc050505-gmir.jpg?v=1784198830", "startDate": "2026-09-01T19:30:00-07:00", "endDate": "2026-09-01T21:00:00-07:00", "url": "https://allevents.in/los-angeles/kabbalah-why-do-i-keep-doing-this/100001994108088974", "eventStatus": "https://schema.org/EventScheduled", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Young Jewish Professionals - Los Angeles", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "6100 Wilshire Boulevard", "postalCode": "90048", "addressLocality": "Los Angeles", "addressRegion": "CA", "addressCountry": "US" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "34.0626102", "longitude": "-118.3621043" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "The Human Experience.
