This Thanksgiving Is Different

A Group Holding Circle

With Batsheva Ganz, LMHC and Rabbanit Dalia Davis

New Traditions, Missing Old Ones; Different Chairs Around the Table, Changing Family Dynamics 

Are you thinking about Thanksgiving and noticing how different it might feel this year? 

Is there someone new who will be joining your meal?  Is there someone who won’t be there this year, whose absence you will feel? Are you hosting for the first time or not hosting for the first time? 

If you are walking into a different Thanksgiving this year – the people, the place, the food, or even you are feeling different – come join us. 

If you are feeling unsure how to approach this new dynamic and want to engage with Jewish wisdom and sage advice on this topic while in community with others experiencing something similar, come be with us.

Together with Rabbanit Dalia Davis, SVIVAH’s Director of Pastoral Education, and Batsheva Ganz, licensed psychotherapist, certified divorce specialist and certified mediator, we will learn the Torah of the changing family and learn from mental health and have an opportunity to reflect and connect with one another.  

Join us Monday, November 23rd @ 8:00-9:30pm ET

Learners of all backgrounds welcomed. Please note: This circle is not intended as a therapeutic space, but a space of connection, community, support, and Jewish inspiration, and the sharing of mental health resources.

Please invite someone you think might want to be with us, too.



This gathering welcomes women* 12+ and learners of all backgrounds.

SVIVAH is dependent on the generosity of those who choose to invest in a powerful community of women. As always, cost should never be a barrier to anything SVIVAH, but if you can, please help us show respect to our speakers/facilitators for their time and expertise.

If you would like to sponsor this gathering in honor or in memory of someone special, email us here.

*SVIVAH defines "Jewish woman" as anyone wishing to be included in a circle of Jewish women. If you want to be here, we want you to be here.


With gratitude always to our supporters:
