Shalom. For many years now, in workshops, zoom classes and numerous discussions at Scholar in Residences, people have come forward to discuss the need, as we all age, to have an open forum on some of the issues that we all are dealing with. These discussions have often included the desire to see how their Judaism speaks to the many transitions that we all face. In an attempt to organize a venue to see if people will follow up, Jewish Sacred Aging® in inviting you to become part of a first time Webinar to reflect on our own “long and winding road”. We will co-host with Rabbi Mark Howard Levin, who has years of experience in working with individuals and groups on aging issues.
The webinar is free and is scheduled for WEDNESDAY APRIL 17.ZOOM: 4 PM-5.30PM EASTERN TIME. We hope to have an open and honest discussion on such issues as:
* how at this stage of life, do you find meaning?
* how do we cope with the inevitable losses, both natural and random, that we experience?
* where is your sense of the sacred? How has your Judaism ben part of this stage of life?
* what lessons have your learned in the journey?
* how are you embracing your own future?
* what do you consider your legacy?
* what keeps you up at night?

This is a perfect time to reflect on our own journey. Passover speaks to the sense of liberation and searching and the hope for a “promised” land. The seder and the story takes us through what so many of us experience in life: exaltation, fear, some regret, hope and the struggle to make sense out of relationships that span the field from our own family to what and how we see God. Please consider joining us for this first time discussion.
Thank you. Rabbi Levin and I hope to see many of you on the 17th at 4pm edt.
Shalom,
