Sensitivity Seminar
Sensitivity Seminar
Did you ever have a friend share some hard news with you and stand there tongue-tied, wishing there was something you could say?
Did you ever say something and wish immediately you could take it back?
Sessions available on the Torah Online section of our site.
All of us want to help when someone is going through tough times. What can be hard, though, is knowing what we can say and do that really will be helpful.
She'arim has created a seminar addressing these issues and much more entitled "How Can I Help?"
The seminar includes a panel of speakers discussing common life situations and will provide tangible, practical suggestions on how to help in these situations.

The seminar is being sponsored by Abie and Esther Goldberger in memory of Ziporah bat Yitzhak
Zippora bas Yitzhak z”l, was an exceptional woman who inspired awe and admiration and great love and devotion. She lived graciously and gratefully with Hashem – always thanking Him and believing firmly in everything He made happen. She was a wise and sage woman and everyone was her adopted family. She showered everyone with attention and sweets and she cared for them all. But, most remarkable of all, was her Simchas Hachayim – her “joie d’etre”. She was so completely full of life and ever busy thinking of others. She always had time to listen and she always had some pearls of wisdom to impart. You might have come to her feeling miserable and forlorn but you left feeling strong and capable.
And Amy Rubin in memory of Faiga bat Chaim
Faiga bas Chaim/Barbara Rubin was a warm, loving, practical, smart, funny, down-to-earth woman. She had a talent for putting people at ease, for getting things done, and for laughter. People loved to confide in her, and they found her stability and humor comforting. She was much beloved by her family and friends and is sorely missed.
