What’s Happening at Local West Orange Synagogues

The Lubavitch Center is proud to present guest speaker Dr. Gill Heart PhD for a discussion on stress management techniques used by elite, Special Forces in the Israeli Defense Forces on Tuesday at 7:45 p.m. 

Heart’s seminar, which will held at the Lubavitch Center Shul at 395 Pleasant Valley Way in West Orange, will focus on stress management, more specifically, the application and implementation of mind in control techniques using Special Forces IDF methodologies to improve our response every day stressful events. 

During his IDF service, Heart learned to successfully maintain and maximize performance even under extreme circumstances. 

“Special operations require dealing with stressful circumstances. Being physically fit helps, but falls short of being the solution”, Heart said. “Ironically,” he added, “it is all in your mind. Compared with the very high‐level stress experienced during Special Operations, the level of stress we experience on a daily basis is significantly lower. However, the latter is sustained, and it is the sustainability that makes it difficult as its impact is cumulative. Special Forces training methodologies are utilized to teach, train and implement mind In control techniques. This, in turn, significantly improves adoption rate and impact of the taught mind In control techniques.” 

At the end of the seminar, participants will have acquired a tangible skill: a mind In control technique they can immediately put to use and apply to every‐day life stressful events. Heart implements Kabbalistic knowledge of how to control emotional responses to stress by utilizing the same Special Forces techniques he practiced during his service.

Tickets for the lecture cost $12 in advance, $15 at the door. Sponsorships are available for $180. Please RSVP to the Lubavitch Center at ChababEssex.com or call (973) 486-2362.
