Sinai Cares Staff Clinical Social Worker Deborah Gordis will be facilitating an 8-week adult bereavement support group, beginning Monday October 20, for individuals who have experienced recent loss due to the death of a parent, sibling, or spouse/partner. Bereavement groups allow those who have lost a loved one to share and process their grief with others who have experienced a similar loss.
The group will meet in person once a week on Monday mornings at 10:30 am; in cases of significant weather or illness challenges we will move to Zoom. The goal of the group is to provide a space for connection and healing within a safe and supportive environment. Group size is limited to 8-10 participants.

If you have questions about whether this group is right for you, or if you would like to participate, please reach out by email to Deb at dgordis@templesinaidc.org.

YAWS Meeting
2025-11-20 19:30 - 21:30 | Temple Sinai – 3100 Military Road NW, Washington, DC, United States
We are a group of parents of young adults and teens who are struggling with life. Examples of such difficulties might be: isolation, social difficulties, school avoidance, school failure or other learning differences, vocational struggles, inhibitions around launching and independence or strained relations with friends and family. Many struggle with mental illness, learning disabilities, Asperger’s, substance abuse or autism. Some are undiagnosed, just not living up to society’s expectations.

We meet once a month and support and encourage one another as we look at strategies for helping our young adults. We understand the journey, which has many twists and turns, often not what we expected when thinking about raising a child. We laugh, cry, share resources, and support one another. Occasionally, we have speakers join us and supplement our knowledge of resources available, including housing options, legal remedies, new medications or treatments, etc.

The group meets monthly and is open to anyone interested. All information shared is completely confidential. Should you have any questions, please call the Temple Sinai office at (202) 363-6394.

TSMRJ Book Discussion
2025-12-10 19:00 - 21:00 | DC
Join us for a discussion of The Heaven & Earth Grocery Store: A Novel by James McBride. (Note: This is instead of the previously announced selection, The Commitments by Roddy Doyle, which was not easily available.) The story is a murder mystery set in a dilapidated western Pennsylvanian community inhabited by Jewish immigrants and African Americans, both “(struggling) to survive at the margins of white Christian America and how damaging bigotry, hypocrisy, and deceit can be to a community.” The DC and Montgomery County library systems have multiple copies of the book in various formats. For more information, contact Howard Oppenheim.
