SUMMARY:Navigating Parent Loss During the Holidays: A Jewish Grief Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Even when we are adults\, losing a parent is not easy. We’ve literally known this person our whole life\, and when that person is gone\, it leaves a hole that can’t be filled. Holidays can be particularly hard after we have experienced such a loss. We are used to getting or sending Hanukkah cards\, calling or seeing these loved ones on New Years. Warm childhood memories become tinged with sadness. \n\n\n\nThe Divine said\, “It is not good for a human to be alone.” Genesis 2:18 \n\n\n\nThousands of years ago\, the authors of the Torah knew this truth\, and it resonates powerfully to this day. The holidays can be a time of loneliness and grief\, especially when we are mourning the death of a parent. And the current events can certainly magnify what we are going through. \n\n\n\nJoin Rabbi Dr. Greg Marcus\, a trained grief counselor\, for this special workshop to help you get through this challenging time. We will experience community together as we navigate this path. Rabbi Greg combines modern techniques for processing grief with timeless Jewish wisdom. \n\n\n\nWhether your parent died last month\, last year\, or ten years ago\, this grief workshop will offer you insight and comfort. \n\n\n\nRabbi Dr. Greg Marcus is an independent Community Rabbi serving the San Francisco Bay Area. He creates safe spaces for learning\, heart-work\, prayer and ritual. Prior to his ordination in 2024\, he had successful careers as a scientist\, marketer in the genomics industry\, writer\, and life coach. He was also a stay-at-home dad for almost ten years. His mother Elaine Marcus died of Covid in 2020. You can learn more at RabbiGregMarcus.com

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