Parsha Bo - with JAMI Mental Health Shabbat

This Shabbat, Parashat Bo coincides with Jami's Mental Health Shabbat, a time to reflect on mental health and raise awareness of mental health in our community. This week, Rabbi Miriam is joined by Victoria Dadds, Kehillat Nashira's JAMI ambassador. Rabbi Miriam reflects:

It's JAMI mental health Shabbat this week, an opportunity to raise awareness and talk about a side to health which we're still learning to talk about and care for well. Victoria shares how each of us really can make a difference by connecting with others, one check-in at a time.

Please have a look at JAMI's resources @jami_uk and be the light!

Just as the parsha speaks of darkness, many experience emotional or mental challenges but hope and light are possible.
