Passover is about a journey to freedom, and as winter turns to spring, it's worth asking: What are you ready to leave behind?

This season, one so centered on food, we are resurfacing this important article about eating disorders. This HereNow author shares what she has been able to reclaim when she left her eating disorder behind and stepped into recovery.

We are proud to share a new article HereNow board member Charlotte wrote for My Jewish Learning! https://bit.ly/4aFb3ck

Charlotte's February article, "Overcoming Life's Obstacles," reflects on the lessons she learned from Israeli hostage Eli Sharab'si speech about resilience, gratitude, and the importance of family. Through this mental health lens, Charlotte explores how choosing hope can reshape how we see our own challenges.

On Martin Luther King Jr. Day we created goodie bags for residents of one of The Jewish Board's assisted living facilities. We learned how much we have in common with the people we served: folks in the residences are learning independent living skills with their mental health challenges; and we teens are in a life stage where we're embarking on independent life outside of homes we've known our whole lives. We were inspired! Join us next time.
