Virtual Learning Opportunities
From the Jewish Grandparents Network:
Grandparenting with Grace: Organizing Your Home and Heart for the Jewish New Year
Wednesday, September 10 7:00-8:00 PM ET
Learn how to create organized, welcoming spaces for your family — both in-person and virtual — for the High Holidays. Professional organizer Amy Bergman will help us frame the Jewish New Year as both a time of reflection and joyful connection — with family and self. We will explore how to prepare home and heart for the New Year with intention by embracing Jewish values like chesed (loving-kindness), hachnasat orchim (hospitality), and kavanah (intention/presence).
