Aging can bring a rich mix of opportunities and growth, challenges and losses. Abraham Joshua Heschel said, “The [senior years] are indeed formative years, rich in possibilities… to deepen understanding and compassion, to widen the horizon of honesty…One ought to enter old age the way one enters years of university, in exciting anticipation and consummation." 

Join us as we learn and explore how to discover, within this time of life, a sense of joy, meaning and connectedness. Together, we will reflect on our life experiences, integrate the lessons learned, share our wisdom and deepen our experiences through meditations and spiritual practices. We will be exploring topics such as our changing bodies, relationships, forgiveness and reconciliation, cultivating spiritual qualities for well-being, living with loss and leaving a meaningful legacy.

This group will be facilitated by Beth Tzedec Spiritual Leaders Yacov Fruchter and Aviva Chernick over the course of eight weeks. We look forward to creating a supportive community with you in which we can grow, discover new opportunities and infuse our lives with meaning and joy.
