Discussion Groups 2:00-3:00 pm
#1 “Building Your Coping Skills Toolbox” Led by Rachel Benson
We are no strangers to change. Some changes we dread, while others we may look forward to. Some are in our control, while many are out of our control. Sometimes we experience a mix of so many different emotions when we think about how our world and/or our lives are changing. Let’s gather together to discuss how we can better handle the changes around us and within us, find ways to better balance our emotions, and help each other create a “toolbox” of ways to cope as we move forward.

#2 “The changing form of anti-Semitism and how to combat it?” Led by Joel Kotkin leader

#3 Meditative Music with Temple Beth Sholom’s own Michael Sumague on the violin, Stephanie Getz on flute and Chad Jackson on viola.
They will play reflective music in the Sanctuary based on the theme of the High Holy Days. This is a wonderful opportunity to sit quietly and spend some personal time in thought and contemplation.

#4 Healing Service with Rabbi Sharon Sobel in the Chapel. 
Please join us as we use prayer, poetry, music and reflection to pray for healing of the body, mind and spirit for ourselves, those whom we love or anyone in the world who is in need of physical, spiritual or emotional healing.
