Classes with Rabbi Dayle will be a combination of lecture, text study, Hevruta (discussing with a partner or small group), and writing exercises with opportunities to reflect with the group. The course curriculum will build from one class to the next, so we ask that those who sign up make every effort to attend each of the classes, and follow-up discussions.
“I firmly believe anyone can ‘swim the sea of Torah’ with proper welcome and opportunity”-Rabbi Dayle Friedman
“Rabbi Dayle warmly and gently invited us to open to our experience and share the journey with one another, as well as with the other participants.” -a KS Member about the class with Rabbi Dayle
Rabbi Dayle Friedman is the author of Jewish Wisdom for Growing Older, and brings passion and humanity to teaching, drawing on her rich experience accompanying individuals and families later in life, and blending inspiration from the wisdom of Jewish and other traditions with cutting-edge professional perspectives.
This teaching is part of Kerem Shalom Across the Ages and Stages of Life: Growing Older in Community with Kerem Shalom.
Since January 2025, the KS Growing Older in Community initiative has been fostering connections and support amongst KS members as we explore, share, learn, and grow older together. We aim to offer a combination of member-led group conversations, classes, workshops, and print and digital resource collections in the KS library, with particular relevance for those in their later years.
