Rabbi Aryeh Nivin’s Personal Development Chaburas educate and empower you to live with vitality, transcendence, and powerful joy. The Chabura is the oldest continuous virtual personal development workshop. Members meet by phone or webinar once a week (additional weekly processing groups will soon be available). Rabbi Nivin brings 30 years’ experience teaching vital concepts from an array of classic mussar and Chassidic sources.

Since its inception 10 years ago, this pioneering program has grown to an ongoing virtual community with participants from all over the world ranging in age from 25 to 70, and including such diverse personalities as a kollel mother in Lakewood, a school principal in Australia, an attorney in Los Angeles, a chassidish bubby in London, kiruv leaders, and educators. Alumni include several authors and lecturers who have gone on to lead their own courses in parenting and marriage. The Chabura is endorsed by many prominent rabbis and rebbetzins.

The innovative curriculum is divided into modules that guide you to live the life you’ve always wanted to live. In Elul, you create a life plan – a personal road map for 5776. The tools are practical, helping you better understand yourself, grow, and overcome challenges. Questions include: What is my life’s purpose? What are my goals? What direction do I want to take in the upcoming year? The courses are based primarily on the classic mussar sefarim of Rav Eliyahu Eliezer Dessler and Rav Moshe Chaim Luzzatto, and Chassidic texts such as Nesivos Shalom and the writings of the Piaseczne Rebbe, Hy”d.

The Chabura is a live workshop in which participants can ask questions (a recorded option is also available). Written notes are emailed and saved in the Information Center. Participants can speak with a handpicked chavrusa (study partner) for a few minutes every day, to review material and put concepts into practice, and volunteer coaches are also available. The groups are made up of serious, committed women, all focusing on helping each other with personal growth on a daily basis. Since the program is virtual, participants can’t actually see each other, so they can focus on growing without feeling insecure or exposed.

Rabbi Nivin receives glowing emails with anecdotes about how the program has enhanced marriage, family, and overall life. People commit to the life plan they have mapped out, with a clear direction on how to work on their fundamental personal flaws. Participants acquire new tools to work on themselves, gaining new insights to living life.

Many Chabura members recommit, year after year, continually finding new ways to grow. One group has been going on for seven years, and every year grows to higher levels, both on a group and individual level.

“As a result of the program, I’m more aware of my goals and have more tools and clarity about how to achieve those goals with interpersonal and intrapersonal relationships. I love being able to ask questions and I really like the pace. I 100% recommend it. Rabbi Nivin gets to the essence of who and what we can become.” Debra, Michigan.
