Lunch and Learn with Rabbi Laura Geller

What moments matter to you and people you love as there is less time ahead than there was behind? How can we create ritual to give us an anchor in a changing world? How can we pay attention to the endings and beginnings in this stage of life’s journey? Join Rabbi Laura Geller, a Nefesh kin, in a workshop centered on her co-authored book Moments That Matter: Marking Transitions in Midlife and Beyond.

You can purchase her book here or from your bookseller of choice.
