FROM RESILIENCE TO RENEWAL

In each session of “Resilience to Renewal,” we focus on a different aspect of growth that can come from successfully coping with life-altering events. This year, we are going to explore the limits of "resilience" and look toward "renewal." We will delve into Jewish texts and values for insight into how we can nourish ourselves and each other. Each month will be a stand-alone session that considers a different facet of our tradition: Torah, prayer, history, poetry, humor, music, and more!

In December we will discuss how many people emerge from traumatic challenges with a deepened sense of altruism and compassion for others. We will see examples of women from Jewish history who used their own painful pasts as a platform to change the lives of others.
