“Imagine a magnificent needlepoint accenting a wall, vibrant in its intricate depiction of a peaceful landscape, until it is removed from the wall, and one sees the reverse side. Countless loose ends and knots thread around in a mishmash of tangled colors. There are loops and kinks, no order, no pattern, least of all design or beauty. Like the world from our viewpoint.”
Our Tapestry is a Jewish organization that supports families that have suffered the loss of a child of any age. They publish a magazine twice a year. In addition, they have various whatsapp support groups and arrange get-togethers in the tri-state area.
Our Tapestry quarterly magazine contains articles, poems, and information specially written by and for families that have suffered the loss of a child. It is a great source of support and comfort for many who have undergone the traumatic loss of a loved one.
You are invited to call, email, or fax to request copies, submit an article or other material, or just get some much needed chizuk.
May the publishers and writers soon be able to publish a Simchas Techias Hameisim Magazine!
Never Alone
By Rabbi Y. Y. Rubinstein
In Never Alone, a book geared for teens who have lost a parent, popular writer, educator, and speaker Rabbi Y. Y. Rubinstein---himself orphaned of his father as an adolescent-sensitively and thoughtfully shares a path toward healing and moving forward. There are so many feelings a young teen in this position might be feeling---sadness, anger, pain, and guilt, among others---in addition to having numerous loaded questions about it all. With warmth, wisdom, and understanding, he offers validation, reassurance, answers, advice, and even some smiles.
Also included are pieces written by the world-renowned maggid Rabbi Paysach Krohn; highly sought after psychologist Mrs. Mindy Blumenfeld; and others who experienced profound losses yet whose experiences built them into the strong and supportive people they became.
