Led by BJ’s new rabbinic fellow, Iliana Brodsky, we’ll explore how comfort and consolation are expressed in our tradition, and consider how embracing comfort as a spiritual posture can deepen our preparation for the High Holy Days.

Help us finish the BJ Community Covenant Murals. We will paint the final mural together and explore BJ’s Community Covenant values as a way to ground ourselves in community before the High Holy Days. 

This season invites us to engage in forgiveness, accept our mortality, and envision the year ahead. As we grow older, these themes resonate differently. Join BJ member Linda Thal, co-author of Wise Aging, to reflect on this meaningful time.

Hosted by Temple Shaaray Tefila in coordination with the Nexus Project, this timely program brings our community together to face rising antisemitism, nurture resilience, and build collective strength in the ongoing work of justice and democracy.
