IJS invites people living with disabilities and/or chronic illness and pain to join us for Shalem (“Whole”), an inclusive new affinity space for mindful Jewish practice related to the challenges and opportunities of living a spiritual life with a disability. As we engage in contemplative practice in the context of a caring and supportive community, we explore new ways to affirm our fundamental humanity and wholeness, nurture our personal and collective healing, and grow inner skills to promote our resilience and well-being.

Please read and familiarize yourself with the “Making Safer Spaces” guidelines. For spiritual practice to be truly transformative, it’s essential to be part of a safe and sacred community of intention, whether in-person or online. These guidelines can help us create this community. As a part of creating Safer Spaces, this community of practice is intended only for those living with disabilities and/or chronic illness and pain.
