Join Rabbi Malka Drucker for “Ageing into Sageing,” a Contemporary Conversations in Jewish Thought (CCiJT) program exploring how to access the secrets of a long life. The reward is wisdom, serenity, and deeper self-knowledge. Ageing into Sageing is the great spiritual adventure that can only be experienced when you’ve lived long enough. Based upon the pioneering work of Rabbi Zalman Schachter-Shalomi, Rabbi Drucker's book, Embracing Wisdom: Soaring into the Second Half of Life, is a handbook that sets a path for the boomer generation to complete life successfully and leave a legacy for future generations.
This conversation-based session welcomes adults of all ages. Your presence supports our Santa Ynez Valley Jewish Community’s commitment to lifelong Jewish learning and thoughtful engagement with contemporary life.
