Please join Shelley Lazear LCSW, a Certified Retirement Coach, and Rabbi Dollin as they bring their expertise and experiences in exploring what Judaism can teach about transitioning into retirement and the essential considerations and emotional preparation for this chapter of life - including the fear of growing older. This seven-part series will examine aspects of the Jewish Life Cycle, Chesed, and Jewish wisdom of “aging and saging.” This course is not about financial planning but about discussing ways of living and thinking that will allow you to flourish during your retirement and aging process. The fee for this class is $100. For scholarship consideration, please contact Rabbi Grinsteiner at sgrinsteiner@headenver.org
