Are you living a life that you love, guided by your values and your soul’s wisdom?
In Judaism, during the month of Elul, we are called upon to prepare for the High Holidays through a process called Cheshbon HaNefesh, an “Accounting of the Soul.” We are encouraged to do a personal inventory or self-assessment of the different aspects of our life and ascertain what areas we feel good about, where we are missing the mark and what we would like to change.
Rabbi Yafa Chase, a Spiritual Life Coach and parent of two children, will lead a workshop to help parents spiritually prepare for the High Holidays. She will guide participants through self-assessment and intention-setting exercises, and share Jewish wisdom that has supported her in being a parent.
Rabbi Chase is the Director of Western Massachusetts Programs for the Harold Grinspoon Foundation. Her goal is to support and encourage a vibrant Jewish community in Western Massachusetts.
This event is presented by PJ Library. The event is free but pre-registration is required.
