Weekly Emails

We are living in unprecedented times of isolation and anxiety. People are losing loved ones in extreme numbers and are often unable to comfort those they love during illness, recovery or end-of-life.  It is, in every way, a painful reality that we could never have imagined even a year ago.

Please join us for Havdalah Together on Saturday night, February 6, at 5:30pm when our guest will be Chaplain Fran Chalin from VITAS Healthcare.  She and her colleagues are working on the front lines with patients and families as they navigate layers of loss in unfamiliar ways.

Chaplain Fran will offer lessons of hope and wisdom and facilitate a conversation in which each of us can share our personal experiences and concerns.  Please share this event with friends and family who may find it comforting.

Join us on Zoom or Facebook.

From my heart to yours,

Rabbi Marcia Tilchin
