| Notes: Finding Joy in the Journey: Jewish Outlooks on Aging Shabbaton with Rabbi Laura Geller Friday, May 9 – Saturday, May 10, 2025 Aging is a journey filled with challenges, growth, and opportunities for deeper meaning. Join us for a Shabbaton with Rabbi Laura Geller, author of Getting Good at Getting Older, as we explore Jewish perspectives on aging with wisdom, intention, and creativity. Through thought-provoking discussions, engaging workshops, and moments of reflection, we’ll learn how to embrace this stage of life with purpose and joy. From navigating family dynamics to finding meaning in rituals and preparing for the future, this weekend offers a chance to connect, share, and discover new ways to thrive at every stage. Schedule Friday, May 9, 2025 7:45 PM | Shabbat Services (Hybrid) Dvar Torah : Making Each Day Count. We are in the period of counting the Omer. What counts? Who counts? And why does it matter? Saturday, May 10 9:00–10:00 AM | Opening Session at Torah Study (Hybrid) "Getting Good at Gaining Wisdom" with Rabbi Geller Together we will explore some traditional texts about what it means to be wise and some spiritual practices that help us develop a heart of wisdom. It will be an interactive discussion where we will be able to share the Torah of our own lives as we wrestle with the Torah of tradition. Workshops (In-Person) 10:15 – 11:15 AM • The Panini Generation: Navigating the Pressure of Aging Parents and Growing Kids – Rabbi Geller We used to be called the Sandwich generation- with us in the middle of caring for aging loved ones and growing or already (almost )grown children. But now the pressures are even more intense- we often feel squished like a panini – the cheese (us) dripping out! As we share some of our experiences we will also look at what how Judaism can can help us and how the synagogues can as well. • Getting Good at Getting Ready: End of Life and Living in the Now – Brahms Silver, retired oncology social wor | ||||||||
