Sod Ha'adam Participants

Reflect By Elisheva Halle (Creative Wr and Sod Ha’adam Participant) iter

On the outside, my life is ideal, but only I realize that I’m crumbling inside. My child is being bullied at school. How do I react without panic and despair? My student is struggling with her reading, is there anything I can do as a teacher to help? I’m a therapist and want a deeper understanding on how to connect to my clients and their pain.

What is Sod Ha’adam? How can a course that changed hundreds of lives be described in a few sentences? It’s about how to connect on a deep level, as a parent, spouse, friend, educator, therapist, or mentor. It’s about how to connect deeply to yourself.

““As a mother, I would sit down with a child in his or her perceived crisis and my brain instantly went into hyper mode, quick fix, trying to come up with a permanent solution to their terrible crisis and problem. Now I sit with the child and I just listen from beginning to end and I try really hard to connect with their pain. It’s unbelievable how by the time they finish talking, most of the time the solution already happened. The solution that they needed was to feel that I am with them. ”

“The great secret Sod Ha’adam has taught me, more than anything else, is the secret of ‘I’m not afraid’ . It’s permission to not be afraid of the weaknesses and challenges I encounter. ” —B.F., Mother and Teacher, Monsey NY

Sometimes we, our children, or the people around us have been labeled as a problem. Something that needs fixing. Sod Ha’adam teaches how to connect to your and other’s true core to maximize potential, so that people can feel beloved, needed, wanted, and seen. As parents, there is so much power in your hands to mold your child’s behavior and self-image. Sod Ha’adam teaches how to cull your natural gifts as a parent, spouse, educator, friend, or mentor instead of feeling helpless. “

“My son was anxious, angry and aggressive. He would come home from cheder and chaos would reign in my home. Then a friend told me about Sod Ha’adam. I listened to the classes with such excitement, I felt my heart opening, everything made so much sense. I slowly felt my whole perspective shift, and with it, my entire relationship with my son. Recently, he became bar mitzva. We kept hearing comments from family, who had no clue what we went through: “His face is aglow with happiness, ” “He has such a menuchas hanefesh,” “Wow, such self-confidence. ” One person asked us, “How do you make such kids in today’s day?” My husband and I looked at each other with tears of gratitude to Hashem and whispered, “Sod Ha’adam. ”

It’s not magic, it’s not segulos. It’s about secrets that are deep, true and essential. When you hear them, you feel like you are finding a lost piece of your very being. Of course! A truth so simple and clear, the truth of our hearts that has been lost to us in the years of our galus. How to love. How to accept. How to enjoy life. How to believe in people. Sod Ha’adam is unique because the methods and truths are gleaned exclusively from Torah sources. There are general ideas that are then followed by practical tools. How to see people in their full glory, exercises that can be done, mindsets that can be adopted and how to do it seamlessly within your day. Sod Ha’adam addresses the root of the problem instead of focusing on altering the symptoms. It’s a holistic approach that takes into account a person’s physical, spiritual, cognitive

“and emotional wellbeing.

“As a practicing life coach for 7+ years, it doesn’t cease to amaze me how tapping into the magnificence of the person’s neshama and viewing the weakness as STRENGTH has the power to transform the person. ” —S.B., Life Coach, Lakewood NJ

Although participants have seen results and a better quality of life, Sod Ha’adam does not place emphasis on results—it’s about implementing a new way of living, where you see yourself and others as essentially whole, instead of hopelessly broken. It’s about entering a process where you can begin to enjoy your life and the people in them.

““I think there is another word for menucha. It’s Rebbetzin Tukashinsky. It’s her voice, her words, her heart, her ruach, her life story, her neshama, that comes through in every single class and every single sentence. It comes from such a deep place inside of her that it goes into a deep place inside of you. ” —B.F.
