Led by Reb Judith Goleman

In this class we will look at our families of origin, in terms of masks we may have needed in relating to them.

We all have human failings.  The particular style of human failings in our parents very naturally has effects on us.

In this class we will look for defensive styles in ourselves, masks, that are appropriate to our families of origin.

Our goal is to become more aware of these masks, so that we can put them away in situations when, as adults, we don't really need them. 

Rabbinic Pastor Judith Goleman, MFT, is a chaplain and also has a private practice in individual and couple counseling. As teenager she fell in love with the joyous tales of the Hasidic Rabbis of the 18th century, who saw God as the deep nature of everything in Creation (including us in our true potential). As an adult she encountered this spirit in the Jewish Renewal movement, and was ordained as a Rabbinic Pastor in this spiritual approach. It also informs her psychotherapy practice.
