Why is it called The Source?
There are three main reasons why it is called The Source. Firstly, because everything comes from Torah based sources. Secondly, because it allows people to understand and improve the very source of themselves. And thirdly, because of the acronym which stands for Systems Of Understanding & Refining Character Effectiveness.
