We are living in a time of immense grief and political oversaturation. From events unfolding abroad—like the wars in Gaza and Ukraine—to the rise of authoritarianism in the U.S., layered on top of personal grief, burnout, and loss, it can feel like the weight never really lets up. This is the backdrop of our lives as we move into adulthood: building relationships, careers, and identities at a time when the future often feels bleak, unstable, and deeply uncertain.

And yet, even in this moment, there are real possibilities for hope—hope rooted in connection, collective care, radical compassion, and meaningful action.

What are you grieving right now? How do Jewish values and ways of thinking help you make sense of that grief? How does being Jewish connect you to community, sustain hope, and shape how you show up in the world—especially when the path forward feels unclear?

Join us for a reflective, grounded conversation on grief, hope, and healing in community, inspired by “Let’s Build a Room for Hope” by Rabbi Miriam Grossman. Together, we’ll create space to name what we’re holding, connect with others navigating similar questions, and explore how grief can be shared, held, and transformed into care, solidarity, and action.
