Where Healing Resides with Rabbi Eric Weiss
A brunch program for individuals, caregivers, and professionals
November 17th 2019 11:00am to 1:00pm
Blackhawk Country Club

It is our deep honor and privilege to welcome Rabbi Eric Weiss to Madison on Sunday November 17, for an interactive community event focused on using Jewish wisdom to cope with difficult life events.
Rabbi Eric Weiss brings the tools of Jewish tradition and the wisdom of the Jewish sages to those facing these challenges, and helps us to make sense of them. He has co-edited two books on this topic,
Where Healing Resides
and
Where Grief Resides
from CCAR press. These collections of readings, poems, and meditations address the spiritual meaning we can find in difficult experiences: pregnancy loss, addiction, dementia, gender transition, end-of-life issues, and more.
Whether you are a family caregiver, are facing illness, grief or other challenges yourself, support others as a Jewish professional, or are simply yearning for deeper spirituality, this brunch program will feed your body, mind and spirit. Attendees will receive one of Rabbi Weiss’s books.
Please join us for what promises to be an inspiring and healing exploration of Jewish spiritual wisdom. The event fee includes brunch, an interactive program with Rabbi Weiss, and a copy of one of his books. JSS extends gratitude to Tim and Kathy Mazur for their generous support of this event.
