No pain is greater than the grief resulting from the loss of a loved one.

Acknowledging and embracing this reality, the Temple has a bereavement ministry. Certified counselors are available for those who have experienced grief and loss and there are two meetings each month for ones who are greaving and counselors/volunteers who have a heartfelt concern. A special session, “Preparing for the Holidays” is offered each year during the Advent/Christmas season. For more information, contact the Rev. Cerna Castro Rand at 312-236-4548 or Azucena Munoz Tressler at 312-663-9757.
