The Sacred Struggle

The Sacred Struggle: Jewish Responses to Trauma
Led by Rabbi Benjamin David

Tuesday, June 16 at 7:30 pm (Hybrid)

We are thrilled to welcome Rabbi Ben David to Kol Ami as our teacher for this meaningful session based on his recent book. We will have the opportunity to hear his story and look at Jewish tools to help us survive and thrive.

How do we find the strength to continue when dealing with traumatic experiences? The Sacred Struggle: Jewish Responses to Trauma is a powerful anthology of personal stories, offering a deeply moving exploration of how Jewish wisdom can help us navigate life’s most difficult moments. With stories including enduring the loss of a child, losing a loved one to suicide, surviving sexual assault, responding to a diagnosis of cancer, experiencing antisemitism and racism, and many more, this volume is rooted in vulnerability and resilience, revealing the profound ways Judaism offers tools for reflection, connection, and healing. Edited by Rabbi Lindsey Danziger and Rabbi Benjamin David, with a foreword by Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker, The Sacred Struggle is a companion for anyone seeking comfort and hope in the face of trauma.

There is no cost for congregants to attend; $15/person or screen for non-members.
Registration is required (coming soon).
