Back to Full Weekend

In recent years, we have become more aware of the prevalence and dangers of social isolation and loneliness.

Every generation faces isolation, often at great physical, emotional, and cognitive cost — from teenagers and young adults to empty nesters and seniors. Allison will offer a roadmap for addressing loneliness based on Dr. Ruth Westheimer’s Menu for Connection and will engage with Rabbi Haaz and the audience in a conversation about fostering nurturing relationships.
