Throughout our lives, we are all in need of refuah shleimah, whether it is physical, mental, emotional, social, or spiritual healing. Those struggling with mental health and addiction are in need of healing and wholeness. During the Jewish Approaches to Mental Wellness Workshop, participants will be guided through activities that explore the ways middot (Jewish values) and prayer connect to mental health. Participants will take a deeper look into the Mi Sheberach, a traditional prayer for healing, and write unique Mi Sheberach prayers for mental health.
