In light of recent troubling events in Los Angeles and around the world, we have decided to postpone our Pritzker event Navigating Our Uncertain Future: Using Change to Our Benefit. The news out of Israel has been consuming, and our hearts and thoughts are with our Israeli family at this difficult time.

We will notify you as soon as we reschedule what is sure to be an engaging discussion concerning mental health set in the context of our reopening world.

For more information or if you have any questions regarding how to join this virtual experience, please contact Lauren Shorten at LShorten@JewishLA.org or (323) 761-8306.
