BEREAVEMENT SPIRITUAL SUPPORT
GROUPS
While grief is a normal response to loss, we know from practical
experience and from the teachings of our tradition, that being
with an understanding community can help bring comfort and healing
to the mourner. These groups will provide a supportive context
with both general and specifically Jewish resources for the mourning
process. These groups are especially suited for participants who
have lost loved ones in the past year or so.
Pre-registration is required; we will not be able to accommodate
drop-ins.
Date: Thursdays, January 19 to March 29, 2012
Time: 6:30pm to 8:00pm
Location: Peninsula Temple Sholom, 1655 Sebastian
Drive, Burlingame, CA 94010
Facilitated by: Rabbi Jon Sommer
Date: Wednesdays, May 2 - June 29th, 2012
Time: 6:30pm to 8:00pm
Location: BAJHC office at 3330 Geary Blvd., 3rd
Floor West, San Francisco, CA 94118
Facilitated by: Rabbi Elliot Kukla

Jewish Healing Center,

Lead Services for Shabbat and Holy Days
as a Volunteer
Caring individuals are needed to volunteer with Jewish seniors
and the disabled through the Bay Area Jewish Healing Center.
The Bay Area Jewish Healing Center (BAJHC) has a
few available positions in Marin, San Francisco, and on the Peninsula
for service leaders. Senior and disabled Jewish adults in our
community are in desperate need of caring and concerned individuals
to lead Shabbat and holiday services at residential facilities.
You need not be a Rabbi or Cantor, just a compassionate
person who would like to help others maintain their connection
to Judaism. The BAJHC trains volunteers in all aspects of service
leadership.
To receive an application, or for more information
on this program, please contact Rabbi Jon Sommer at jsommer@ioaging.org
or 415.750.4198.
TORAH
REFLECTIONS
(Now on our website! CLICK
HERE)
These bi-weekly reflections, written by Jewish
colleagues nationwide, address the weekly Torah portion or Jewish
holidays throughout the year. Torah Reflections are a useful tool
to facilitate exploration of Jewish text and thought for all ages.
Thought-provoking and relevant, these Reflections aim to support,
teach and imbue one with hope.
We are now offering Torah Reflections to individuals
free of charge. Please e-mail us at jewishhealing@ioaging.org,
indicating the e-mail address where you would like to receive
the Reflections. If you are from an institution and would like
to share the Reflections with a larger audience, please contact
us to make arrangements.
This newsletter is made possible, in part
, by the generous tzedaka of The Alexander M. and June L. Maisin
Foundation, and The Bernard Osher Jewish Philanthropies Foundation
of the Jewish Community Endowment Fund.
