Portal: A Circle for Healing
2nd Tuesday of the Month
12:00 pm
In Person at Open Temple + Virtual on Zoom*
Portal is a space for those facing the burden of grief when losing a loved one. It is a place to receive, to support and to know that through it all, we are not alone. The Hebrew word for funeral is levayah, which means “accompaniment.”
Portal is the space where we do this.

If God is already tired, as suggests the Psalm, of hearing the old song, all the more so will ordinary mortals be.
