Pastoral Care & Counseling

We believe that showing up for one another - in times of joy, uncertainty, grief, or growth - is one of the holiest responsibilities of a community.

Our approach to pastoral care and counseling is grounded in deep listening, compassionate presence, and trust. Whether someone is navigating a life transition, facing loss, wrestling with spiritual questions, or simply seeking a caring ear, we strive to meet people where they are, walking alongside individuals and families with sensitivity, flexibility, and care rooted in Jewish wisdom and tradition. 

Pastoral care is not limited to life cycle events. It can take the form of a conversation over coffee, a check-in during a hard week, a hospital visit, a moment of prayer or reflection, a casual hike, or help navigating a time of crisis or change.

We also offer a periodic bereavement support group facilitated by a clinical social worker. Bereavement groups allow those who have lost a loved one to share and process their grief with others who have experienced a similar loss.

For more information, or if you or someone you know needs support, please reach out to Rabbi Sima Oster.
