Receiving Help, Building Resilience: Lessons from Yitro
with Rabbi Sharon Stiefel
Wednesday, August 5, 7-8 PM
4401 York Ave S, Minneapolis, and on Zoom
Contact office @mayimrabim.org for the Zoom link
Yitro, Moses’ father-in-law and a Midianite priest, recognizes the heavy burden Moses is carrying and helps him shift from isolated leadership to a more sustainable model of shared responsibility. This example shows that resilience is not achieved by doing everything alone, but through accepting help and establishing systems of support. We’ll also reflect on how openness to perspectives beyond our own circle can contribute to growth.

About Us
Mayim Rabim Congregation, founded in 1992, is affiliated with the Jewish Reconstructionist movement. We are an urban Jewish community that comprises people of diverse ages, abilities, sexual orientations, cultural backgrounds, and financial resources. We strive to create and sustain spaces that enhance the practice of Judaism in the contemporary world; to that end, we are a house of prayer, of study, and tikkun olam (the repair of the world). As Reconstructionists, we view Judaism as an evolving religious civilization and claim a shared heritage with all Jews.
We are an inclusive, heymish congregation and we welcome visitors!
