Rabbi Herbert Yoskowitz

"The Book of Psalms is a rich treasury of prayer and reflection for
many occasions and situations. Over the centuries, Jews and people
of all faiths have derived comfort, guidance, reassurance, and
catharsis from its 150 chapters . ." (from Rabbi Simkha Weintraub's
new book, "Healing of Soul, Healing of Body"). In this series, Rabbi
Yoskowitz will explore how the Book of Psalms can help us respond
to various kinds of crises and catastrophes, including natural disasters,
political upheaval and social breakdown; chronic disability, illness, or
sorrow; and personal grief and loss when sudden tragedy strikes.
No knowledge of Hebrew is required.

This series is being offered in cooperation with MJAC- The Michigan

Hospice of Southeastern Michigan and the Jewish Family Service)
