Show Notes
A virtual event presentation by Rabbi Lisa Goldstein
Event Co-Hosted by Temple Chai
About The Event:
Developmental trauma occurs when a child’s earliest needs go unmet and they develop unconscious patterns that cause life-long psychological and wellness challenges, as well as interpersonal difficulties. Fortunately, the field of trauma healing is developing new and effective treatments, some of which include a strong spiritual grounding. In this class, we will explore a surprising and helpful connection between Shalom Aleichem, the song Jews sing to welcome the ministering angels to our Shabbat evening meal, and the powerful work of healing developmental trauma.
