Recovery Shabbat with Rabbi Iggy Gurin-Malus: April 5-6
You Don’t Have To Be An Addict To Be In Recovery:
Rabbi Iggy will discuss his approach to recovery as an ongoing process and a spiritual discipline. When combined with Jewish wisdom and traditions, spiritual recovery is a powerful antidote to addictions of all kinds: substance addictions, process addictions, and behavioral addictions. Addiction is not a failure of moral character but an attempt to adress a spiritual void. Addiction is a problem of the soul, remedied only with a life of purpose, meaning, and connection.
Rabbi Iggy will also discuss addiction in the Jewish community and its stigmas. This discussion is especially instructive not only for those who directly struggle but for those with loved ones experiencing addiction who want to find tools to support family, friends, and community members.
