 The world is a difficult place in which to live these days, frequently sending us spiraling into despair and regularly demanding of us more than what we may feel that we can give or be. Judaism is no stranger to challenging times and offers us much wisdom in how to navigate the deep valleys of our psyche. Join Rabbi Katy Allen on a six-week journey through concepts such as free will, descent and ascent, hope and faith, and living with uncertainty. Each session will provide time for exploration of Jewish and secular texts, discussion, and experiential exercises, all designed to help us find and refine our personal emotional and spiritual pathway forward in the face of all that threatens to numb our hearts. 

​Rabbi Katy Z. Allen is one of the co-conveners of the Jewish Climate Action Network, getting it started in December of 2013 at LimmudBoston. She is also the founder and spiritual leader of Ma'yan Tikvah. She began her career as a biology teacher and later became a writer and editor of educational materials. She started teaching Hebrew school, then became involved in family and adult education, and for a number of years performed professionally as a storyteller. Katy received a Masters of Arts in Jewish Studies from Hebrew College in Newton, MA, in 1999, and rabbinic ordination from the Academy for Jewish Religion in Riverdale, NY, in 2005. For three years she served as the rabbi of Temple Tifereth Israel of Winthrop before founding Ma'yan Tikvah. Rabbi Allen served for 10 years as a staff chaplain at the Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston and then worked in hospice for two years before retiring from health-care chaplaincy. She considers herself an eco-chaplain and writes about matters of the spirit and the world.
