Parent Loss Jewish Grief Group

Grief is more than feelings of sadness. It can show up in multiple ways that change over time, including an inability to concentrate, loneliness, trouble sleeping, anger, irritability, as well as existential questions about life. The loss of a parent can be especially jarring. Sometimes, it is helpful to have a group to support you on this journey, as it says in Genesis “It is not good for a human to be alone.” Join Rabbi Dr. Greg Marcus, a trained grief counselor, for this highly interactive seven-session journey to help you deal with the loss of a parent, whether recent or [...]

“Building a Renewal Community in a Secular Jewish Landscape: a 30-Year Case Study with Rabbi Dan Goldblatt.”

"In 1994, I was invited to serve Beth Chaim, a suburban, predominantly secular Jewish community.  I approached Reb Zalman, zt”l, and told him that I wasn’t sure that I was the right match. He told me that if Renewal was to have an impact on the Jewish landscape it would need to be cultivated in mainstream, secular synagogues like Beth Chaim.  He said that this was an important test for Renewal and he would support my efforts. As I retire from my position, 30 years later, I believe that we developed an interesting beta test that others can learn from."
