May is Mental Health Awareness Month!

Shabbat is an opportunity to remove ourselves from the constant motion of our daily lives—to pause, breathe and reflect on that which is most important to us. Pauses like these go a long way in helping us to connect with our friends, families, selves, and God. But Shabbat can also be a powerful tool in cultivating mental wellness. The Blue Dove Foundation has a new Mental Health Shabbat gathering this week, so you can bring in Shabbat with mental wellness in mind. Join their team for a short and intimate entrance into Shabbat, with some ideas about mental health and Shabbat, and a short activity that will surely bring rest and wellness to your weekend.

The Shabbat evening gathering is on zoom, and you can also sign up to host your own Mental Wellness Shabbat dinner.
