Support

During this time of shiva and mourning for our Rabbi Sugarman, ShalomCare - The Temple's mental health initiative - will be offering times for groups led by volunteer clinicians for those who want to process their thoughts and feelings with others. While these are open, letting us know you plan to attend will help the volunteer leaders be even better prepared (and to share Zoom links). For updated schedules and signups, please click here.

Join Pamela Hayes Malkoff, certified art therapist and author of The Creative Cognitive Therapy Method, for a transformative workshop designed to help you reduce anxiety through creative tools and techniques.

More than Massage
Saturday, January 25
3:30pm - 5pm

What does it mean to practice self care? Dr. Beth Krakow, ShalomCare chair, will offer an interactive session aimed to educate but also provide guidance on what self care means for each individual.

And, as we know, Rabbi Sugarman taught so many of us about the importance of family and being as welcoming as possible. So consider joining us for Opening Our Hearts, a three-part program about the meaning and spirituality of grandparenthood, starting Saturday, January 25, at 3:30 pm with Rabbi Lapidus. 

If you have questions, want to schedule a time with clergy for pastoral care, or feel you need individual resources or support, please contact Rabbi Lapidus.
