Join us in hearing from Rabbi Deborah Anstandig on “Holding So Much: Can We Expand Our Broken Hearts?” In the Book of Psalms, God is called the Healer of the brokenhearted – and especially over these last two years, many of us have felt that brokenness in deep and shared ways. In this session, we’ll turn to biblical, rabbinic, and contemporary poetry to explore the tenderness, tension, and hope that come with living — and healing — in our complex world. Deborah will frame this learning with her experiences living in Israel both at the onset of this war in October 2023 and her experiences since the ceasefire in October 2025.
