Mental health challenges can present unique complexities for those who follow halacha—Jewish law. This training for mental health professionals, led by Rabbi Yonatan Rosensweig, offers practical insight into navigating the intersection of halacha and mental health care. With compassion and clarity, we’ll explore how to support observant Jewish clients while respecting both their psychological needs and religious commitments. Rabbi Rosensweig is the Rabbi of Netzach Menashe in Beit Shemesh, founder of the Maaglei Nefesh Center, and author of Nafshi BiShe’elati: The Halachos of Mental Health, the first sefer of its kind dedicated to halachic guidance in mental health care. WHEN: Thursday, June 5 | 8-9:30pm WHERE: The Merion Shtiebel, 261 Montgomery Ave, Bala Cynwyd, Upstairs Room (use back parking lot) COST: Free,1.5 CEUs available.
