Family estrangements are as old as our biblical ancestors, whose stories seldom ended with ‘happily ever after.’  Many people today experience deeply complicated family situations that give rise to anger, sadness, isolation and resentment. Rabbi Beiner will share research, resources and anecdotes illustrating the incidence of Family Estrangement in our world today. She will also engage us in a conversation on how we can cope with our own family estrangements and care for those in our communities who are experiencing these challenging situations.
