Navigating Parent Loss During the Holidays: A Jewish Grief Workshop

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.

“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."
