Join us for a Learn@Lunch with Dr. Naomi L. Baum as she takes us on a Kaddish Journey with
My Year of Kaddish: Mourning, Memory & Meaning
When experiencing loss, we are often without words to describe how we are feeling. Dr. Naomi L. Baum, an international consultant on trauma and resilience, draws on both her personal and professional experience to navigate this uncharted territory, inviting us to journey with her as she says Kaddish, the traditional Jewish mourner’s prayer, in the year following her mother’s death. Dr. Baum takes a new look at tradition and discovers both emotional and spiritual sources of comfort in unexpected places.
