Topic:  Your Mother Was Right: Patience IS a Virtue!
As children, many of us were told that patience is a virtue– in fact, it is one of the foundational virtues of Mussar, the Jewish practice of character development. And today, we need patience more than ever with our lives upended by Covid-19 but the light of wide-spread vaccination in sight. Whatever the problem we face, no matter how great or how small, sloshing impatience all over the situation never makes things happen faster or better, and instead only causes agitation, pain and grief, but how do we stop ourselves?
This workshop will reveal:
·       the deep inner meaning of patience
·       unearth the underlying issues that fuel impatience, and
·       provide you with concrete techniques to practice patience so you can improve your life and handle whatever comes your way.
Future Dates:
February 10 – Rabbi Efrat Zarren-Zohar
March 17 – Rabbi Gayle Pomerantz
April 14 – Dr. Miriam Klein Kassenoff
