    “The Amen Effect: Showing Up for One Another” - A six-part class on Zoom with Rabbi Panken
    Thursday, Jul 10th 8:00p to 9:15p
    Join Rabbi Melinda Panken from the comfort of your own home, for a transformative weekly Zoom class inspired by Rabbi Sharon Brous’ powerful book, The Amen Effect. Together, we’ll explore what it means to truly show up—for ourselves, for each other, and for a broken world. Through sacred text, deep reflection, and honest conversation, we’ll uncover the spiritual and emotional strength found in community, empathy, and presence. Each session will offer the opportunity for meditation, meaningful insights, discussion and practical tools rooted in Jewish wisdom and compassion. Whether you’ve read the book or are discovering it through this class, all are welcome. Come as you are—and let’s say “Amen” together.
