Good Thinking has worked with members of London’s Jewish community to create mental wellbeing resources that align with Jewish beliefs and practices.
‘ בָּעֶרֶב, יָלִין בֶּכִי; לַבֹּקֶר רִנָּה
'Weeping may endure for a night, but joy comes in the morning’ (Psalm 30:6)
With the support of Jami, Rabbi Miriam Berger, Rabbi Daniel Epstein, The London Jewish Forum, Maccabi GB and the London Borough of Barnet, Good Thinking has produced a range of guides and videos to help members of London’s Jewish community boost their wellbeing and cope with losing a loved one.
Once you’ve read Good Thinking’s ‘Five ways to good mental wellbeing & Judaism’ guide, you might like to watch our short videos that contain inspiring messages from members of London’s Jewish community about each of the five ways.
