Co-led by Rabbi Allie from URJ Camp Newman, we will focus on the story of Chanukah, and the lessons it has to teach us about moving forward in a seemingly hopeless situation, and leaning into hope and unexpected miracles.
All parents of PreK-5th Graders are welcome to drop into any session of Parent Wisdom Circle. We start our morning with coffee, bagels and schmoozing, then discuss parenting challenges, and share resources and ideas with each other.
Parent Wisdom Circle is facilitated by Melissa Kelley, LMFT, a Beth Am member and parent.
