mental issues in the context of her synagogue and the director of a jewish meditation center program, of the center for jewish people hood welcome. thank you very having us. i am thrilled i we should say we know each other because of the work of the bay area jewish healing center and we have at the healing center particular outreach on mental illness issues particularly a half day synagogue based conference. beth of you were the chairs and driving forces in your particular synagogues for those conferences and we have mud forward if and we have moved foreward from there. so why is mental illness such an important issue for us to look at in the jewish community in particular jewish care issues? i think mental illness, certainly in our synagogue is an item not talked about. people are very hesitant to share, reveal their personal situations with mental illness and frequently, it is so severe, the stigma, people leave synagogues or fade into the background as a result.
