Renewal of Spirit
Mental Health as a Jewish Value

Rabbi Savenor

Strangers in a Strange Land: The Jewish Response to Seeking Sanctuary
Dates TBD, before Passover / 7:00 pm
Rabbi Witkovsky / Rabbi Philp
The story of our people, which we retell every Passover, obligates us to respond to the crises of our time with courage and compassion. By remembering how we were refugees, we can turn our collective history into meaningful action, supporting those in search of a home.
