Age Wisely with Resilience and Spirit

Written by Behrman House Staff, 20 of October, 2014
Conflicting Priorities Among Jewish Generations

Aging can often feel like an inevitable drift. Our new book Wise Aging can help provide the roadmap for the journey we are all on. 

We have the power to prepare--to build our resilience and navigate the challenges. Will we turn towards the opportunities, and continue to find joy and meaning in our lives? Strengthen relationships with our adult children? Have the courage to find new ways of living? How can we make the most of the aging process, and develop into deeper, wiser people?

In Wise Aging, Rabbi Rachel Cowan and Dr. Linda Thal give us the tools we need to find our own answers to these questions

With warmth, humor, and wisdom Rabbi Rachel Cohen and Dr. Thal explore a wide range of issues, including: 

  • Relationships with adult children and spouses
  • Body image
  • Romance and sexuality
  • Living with loss
  • Cultivating well-being

Wise Aging will be available next June, but you can take an exclusive inside look here.

You can find support and new resources to live the later years with spirit, resilience, and wisdom with help from Wise Aging the The Institue for Jewish Spirituality.

The Institute for Jewish Spirituality (IJS) is training facilitators to lead groups around the country in an exploration of what it means to approach our later years with intention, energy, and joy. Wise Aging: Living with Joy, Resilience, & Spirit will be the core text for these group workshops. If you would like to find out more about establishing a Wise Aging workshop group in your community, contact the IJS here.
