Grief Support Group

Some say that profound loss is not something that we ever really “get over” and that with time, perhaps our relationship with grief changes. The goal of the group is to provide a safe, sacred, and meditative space to be able to reflect on and shape our loss. The care and support that individuals offer one another in a group can be an opening towards less suffering and heartache.

Facilitated by Rabbi Adam Zeff

Rabbi Adam Zeff has served as Rabbi at the Germantown Jewish Centre since 2010, after previously serving as Assistant Rabbi (2007-2010) and Student Rabbi (2002-2007). At GJC, Rabbi Zeff loves telling stories, teaching Torah, singing and playing music, working for justice, and talking, laughing, and learning with the people around him. He is active in religious dialogue with Christian and Muslim clergy and is on the Executive Committee of the Board of Rabbis of Greater Philadelphia. As someone who grew up Reform, experimented with Orthodoxy in college, studied at a Reconstructionist seminary, and is a member of the Conservative movement’s Rabbinical Assembly, Rabbi Zeff is comfortable in a wide variety of Jewish settings and modes of worship and practice. His core conviction is that diversity in Jewish life and in the wider world is the truest expression of the divine.
