Our Adult Children: A Two-Part Series with Roberta Drucker, JSSA Synagogue Liaison
Past SessionsMonday, January 31, 2022 • 29 Shevat 5782 - 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM - Zoom
Monday, November 8, 2021 • 4 Kislev 5782 - 7:30 PM - 9:00 PM - Zoom
Monday, November 8: Part 1 – Holding on, Letting Go
Monday, January 31: Part 2 – Welcoming the “Stranger”
Being the parent of an adult child is no easy task! What is worth holding on to, and to what do we let go? How do we have these difficult conversations with our adult children in a way that is productive and meaningful for all? And when our children bring a new partner into our family, how do we welcome them and bring our families together? Join Roberta for a two-part conversation addressing these questions and more.
Part of the Jewish Learning and Living Series, presented by the Workshops Task Force of the Adult Education Committee.
