Our Journey Now with Rabbi Maurice Harris

Shir Hadash Reconstructionist Community presents

Our Journey Now: Jewish Wisdom for Growing Older from the Reconstructionist Movement

Rabbi Maurice Harris

Associate Director for Thriving Communities and Israel Affairs Specialist, Reconstructing Judaism

 

Tuesday, May 7
5-6:30 pm

Arts & Education Building
The J’s Staenberg Family Complex
2 Millstone Campus Drive, 63146

A complimentary vegetarian Chinese dinner will be served.

 

Many empty-nesters and seniors have great energy and talent that they’d like to channel in ways that build meaning and give strength to causes and communities they believe in. Join Rabbi Harris for a chance to study some of what Jewish tradition has to say on how we can harness that desire and make the chapters of the second half of life compelling and exciting.
