Loneliness as a Spiritual Crisis

Part of our spring learning series, The Power of Emotion: Judaism and the Inner Life

March 21, 2022, 2:00–3:30 p.m. ET
Online

This event is generously sponsored by members of the Center for Pastoral Education Advisory Board.

With Rabbi Mychal Springer, Manager of Clinical Pastoral Education at New York-Presbyterian Hospital in New York City and Adjunct Professor, JTS.

Though it is possible to be lonely while surrounded by others, the loneliness that has surfaced during the COVID-19 pandemic has highlighted the ways that being alone intensifies loneliness. Join Rabbi Mychal Springer to explore the existential issues related to belonging and abandonment, drawing on Jewish spiritual resources that help foster a loving embrace, divine and human, even when we must carefully balance distance and proximity in the face of contagion.
