Finding Shalom: A Healing Circle for the Jewish Soul

Do you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders with the unending conflict in the Middle East, rising antisemitism, and a yearning for connection to your Jewish identity? You're not alone.


Finding Shalom: A Healing Circle for the Jewish Soul is a confidential, six-week group therapy program designed to create a safe space for you to process these overwhelming emotions and find solace in shared experiences. It is led by Deb Shell, Associate Marriage and Family Therapist 143729, and supervised by Nes Pinar, LMFT 94911. Finding Shalom is not about finding simple answers or political solutions. It's about creating a space to heal, to be heard, and to rediscover the strength and beauty of your Jewish identity.


If you're ready to:

Process your complex emotions in a safe and supportive environment. Connect with other Jewish individuals who are also struggling. Find strength and resilience in your heritage and community. Then take the first step towards Shalom. Together, we can weather the storm and find light in the darkness.
