The seminar provided respite and renewal for the Israeli rabbis and chaplains — many of whom have been dealing with the ongoing pressures of supporting communities affected by the war. The seminar’s topics were both broad and deeply meaningful, covering trauma, resilience, grief responses, moral injury and the art of spiritual assessment. To supplement these discussions, the group worked with expressive arts therapists, honing their listening skills, exploring diverse narratives and discovering therapeutic practices to take back home. Where they connected and learned: In addition to the lunch at Jack Satter House, the rabbis and chaplains connected with other Hebrew SeniorLife communities, including a spirited dinner at NewBridge on the Charles, which opened with remarks by Rabbi Judi Ehrlich, a chaplain at NewBridge. Residents and visitors shared stories over traditional meals, and local clergy joined the group for a Christian Fellowship service led by Rev. Barbara Groover, a minister to women at the Charles Street A.M.E. Church and NBOC Christian chaplain, and Emily Perlman, Life Enhancement Coordinator. For some of the visitors, it was their first experience at an interfaith service and their fi rst time in America, which made exploring Boston’s sights and New England’s fall foliage even more meaningful. The weeklong journey was enriched by contributions from several partner organizations, including the Center for Pastoral Education at the Jewish TheoSENIORLIFE | SEE Page 4 Need a hall for your special event?
