Jewish Sacred Aging is now offering a free download of a study guide/outline prepared by Rabbi Address for use in congregational and small group discussions about the implications of aging for Boomer spirituality. The study guide includes reading selections and references from authors specializing in the topic.
You can download the first installment of the study guide here.
Rabbi Richard F. Address, D.Min, is the Founder and Director of www.jewishsacredaging.com. Rabbi Address served for over three decades on staff of the Union for Reform Judaism; first as a Regional Director and then, beginning in 1997, as Founder and Director of the URJ’s Department of Jewish Family Concerns and served as a specialist and consultant for the North American Reform Movement in the areas of family related programming. Rabbi Address was ordained from Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in 1972 and began his rabbinic career in Los Angeles congregations. He also served as a part time rabbi for Beth Hillel in Carmel, NJ while regional director and, after his URJ tenure, served as senior rabbi of Congregation M’kor Shalom in Cherry Hill, NJ from 2011-2014.
My congregational study group is about to begin a study of Ecclesiastes. Can you recommend any commentary that is available online to help me link the test to the issue of sacred aging?
