SUMMARY:Comfort Shawls: Embracing the Cycle of Love and Loss
DESCRIPTION:We witness it every day. People we care about get a diagnosis\,
  lose a loved one\, find themselves overwhelmed with grief and sadness\, a
 nd we are left wondering what we can do. In this workshop you will create 
 a “hug that lasts” in the form of a unique and beautiful “Comfort Sh
 awl.” Guest teacher Marge Eiseman will guide us to share stories of love
  and loss\, and then create symbols to appliqué onto the shawl\, and fina
 lly bless the shawl as it goes into the world to carry healing to all who 
 are embraced by it.\n\nThis program will take place in the week leading up
  to Tisha b’Av\, a time of collective mourning and loss\, and in particu
 lar\, we have to face the idea of senseless hatred “sin’at chimam” a
 s it appears in our personal and communal lives these days.\n\n&nbsp\;\n\n
 Marge Eiseman blends Midwestern common sense\, Jewish spiritual practice a
 nd a facility for reaching people and connecting to them in engaging ways.
  An award-winning teacher for all ages\, the list of programs offered on h
 er site is but a sampling of possibilities. Over the last 25+ years\, Marg
 e has presented at URJ and WRJ Biennials\, CAJE and NewCAJE conferences\,
