Spiritual and Emotional Well-being Workshop: Jewish Perspectives on Mental Health

In the season leading up to Passover — of moving from slavery to freedom, from narrow to wide-open spaces — Rabbi Debra Robbins and Meredith Pryzant, MSW, will co-lead an interactive four-week Jewish workshop on mental wellness to help congregants on their journey toward mental and spiritual well-being. This free, in-person-only class will explore Jewish values for building a healthy community, examine the connections between spirituality and mental health, and provide mental well-being tools for your own practice. The course will use a workbook by The Blue Dove Foundation which will be provided, and each week will explore a different topic — cleansing negativity, ritual, community and rest — and offer space for reflection, journaling, art and activities. Participants must commit to all four weeks; each week builds upon the previous week and drop-ins are discouraged.
