Mind.Full: Applied Mindfulness for Jewish Educational Settings

Mindfulness education has been proven to help improve students' attention spans as well as their ability to empathize, and be compassionate toward one another. Join us for a day of learning with the leading expert, Daniel Rechtschaffen, as we explore practical mindfulness techniques for every Jewish educational setting.
