Sisters In Mourning
Thu, June 3, 2021 at 7:00 pm – 8:30 pm
Caring for their mothers at the end of their lives and grieving for them after their deaths brought them together. Seven women from diverse racial, cultural, and religious traditions with differing sexual orientations and life experiences became seven “sisters in mourning,” meeting to share their grief and to remember together— not only their mothers but themselves as daughters.Join us as we welcome Ansche Chesed member Rabbi Mychal Springer and Su Yon Pak, as well as five of the “Sisters” to share their spiritual, emotional, and existential exploration of the complexities of caring and grieving. Theirs is a journey of healing and insight.
Mychal B. Springer is the manager of Clinical Pastoral Education at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City. She was the founding director of the Center of Pastoral Education at the Jewish Theological Seminary, where she was ordained as a rabbi.
Su Yon Pak is Senior Director and Associate Professor of Integrative and Field-Based Education at Union Th eological Seminary in the City of New York. She is the co-author of Singing the Lord’s Song in a New Land (2005) and coeditor of Leading Wisdom (2017).
