Seniors Welcome to Join Kupuna Zahav Connect Session April 6 at 11:00 AM

WHAT: KUPUNA ZAHAV CONNECT for Hawaii Jewish Seniors with Dr. Laurie Sanford

WHEN: Monday, April 6, 11:00 AM - 11:30 AM

HOW: ZOOM ID  219 092 9161  

In the tradition of continuum of care, our Chevra Kadisha Kavod of Oahu has created a  Zoom Room Kupuna Zahav Connect  session for our Jewish seniors on all the islands for this coming Monday. Please invite our Jewish kupuna (elders/seniors) in Hawaii to join us on Monday, April 6, at 11:00 AM Hawaii time .

The Chevra Kadisha Kavod is starting to branch out and add other forms of support for our Greater Jewish Community. In these times there is a concern that seniors who are spending more time at home unable to participate in their usual routines may feel isolated. The Chevra Kadisha Kavod has arranged for a group call that will be facilitated by Dr. Laurie Sanford. She used to live in Hawaii and is now living on the mainland. Please join the group conversation and stay in touch with the Jewish community. We are hoping to meet on a regular basis. Come share your thoughts, let us know how we can be of help. We would love to catch up.

If any seniors need coaching on how to access  zoom.us  and to sign up for free and to join the Monday meeting, please either watch this short video  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9isp3qPeQ0E  or call Alice 808-343-1252 or Barry 808-341-3312 BEFORE Monday, April 6. The zoom room ID for Jewish kupuna on Monday at 10:55 am is #219 092 9161. All technical issues need to be handled before Monday's call since our time together is limited.

Our facilitator is Dr. Laurie Sanford. Dr. Laurie ( Gavriellah Liron) Sanford is a clinical psychologist and Mashpiah Ruchanit ( Jewish Spiritual Director) who will be holding space for us on Mondays at 11 am HST using the Zoom platform. There are no requirements for attending or participating. We are simply creating a time and space for people to feel connected within our physical separation. Please check in with us and share...anything, or nothing and just listen and breath together. We will get through this in caring community.
