Episode 6: The Ritual of Gratitude with Dana Saroken

At Recustom, we have a saying: We want to help you make ritual your own, so you can welcome whatever life brings. Rituals are a way to ready ourselves against the unpredictability of life. In this episode, we consider rituals as a way to usher in gratitude, and to be reminded of what we already have. Our guest is Rabbi Dana Saroken, rabbi at the Beth El Congregation in Baltimore, Maryland. She’s been there since 2007, when she became the congregation’s first female rabbi. She’s also founder of the Soul Center – self-described as a “place where you can exhale. A place that nourishes and inspires you. A place where you feel supported, cared for and at peace. A place where you can learn and grow and just “be” without judgment.”  Read more about The Soul Center here.  Visit our website here to download guidebooks for each episode: recustom.com/regeneration Get ideas and resources for Jewish family connection at jewishgrandparentsnetwork.org.
