He is an author\, spe aker\, teacher and contributor on subjects ranging from Talmud to Jewish t ext\, spirituality\, addiction\, recovery\, fatherhood and LGBTQI+ issues.  On his podcast\, on Instagram\, and through his teachings\, Rabbi Iggy i s a master communicator of the polarities and contradictions that form his life\, the modern world\, and the dialogues of Torah and Talmud. Today\, he is the founding rabbi and CEO of T’Shuvah Center\, a new long term Je wish recovery community in New York City. He was formerly the Director of Spiritual Counseling at Beit T’Shuvah in Los Angeles.\n\n \;\nAddict ion is a Spiritual Malady \nFriday Night\, March 4 @ 6pm (During Kabbalat Shabbat Service) \n\nRabbi 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 addic tions of all kinds: substance addictions\, process addictions\, and behavi oral addictions. Addiction is not a failure of moral character but an atte mpt to fill a spiritual void. Addiction is a problem of the soul\, remedie d only with a life of purpose\, meaning\, and connection. Rabbi Iggy will also discuss addiction in the Jewish community and its stigmas. This discu ssion is especially instructive not only for those who directly struggle b ut for those with loved ones experiencing addiction who want to find tools to support family\, friends\, and community members.\n\n \;\nYou Don ’t Have to Be an Addict to Be in Recovery \nSaturday Morning\, March 5 @ 10am (During Shabbat Morning Service) \n\nRecovery touches all of us\, directly and indirectly. This is a presentation of Rabbi Iggy’s integrat ed philosophy of the human condition in the modern world. By embracing the tools of recovery — being open\, authentic\, accepting\, and vulnerable — all of us can find spiritual redemption and restore our wholeness. Th e process of recovery is a journey towards a better emotional\, mental\, a nd physical existence in a difficult world.\n\n \;\nQ &\; A with Ra bbi Iggy \nSaturday Afternoon\, March 5 @ 1pm (After Shabbat Service)\n\n Here’s a chance to ask everything you want to know about recovery\, lear n how to support struggling loved ones in your life and community\, and ta lk to an expert who has been a leader in the field for over a decade.
