Mental health and wellness are issues that impact our community, and we are looking forward to creating a space to open a dialogue about mental health within our community and welcome everyone to join.
On Shabbat morning, mental health advocate and educator Marc Fein will address the community before Mussaf. After davening we will have a communal lunch and then break out into sessions where we will have an opportunity to delve deeper into mental health topics in a more intimate setting.
