Divorce can be one of life's most painful transitions, but you don't have to navigate it alone.

Join Rabbis Dan Feder, Julia Berg and Deborah Newbrun and Cantor Yonah Kliger for an uplifting service that names and honors divorce and separation, with Torah teachings on what comes after. Stay for the oneg to reconnect with Divorce & Discovery alumni and hold space with others on the same path.
