Through the Fire: Developing Resilience with Susannah Kolstad

       An IYUN Learning Circle

SUNDAY MORNINGS BEGINNING January 4 AT 10:00 A.M. AT BETH AM ADMIN BUILDING

REGISTER HERE

What does it mean to be strong in a time of uncertainty and unraveling? Through the Fire: Developing Resilience is an eight-session IYUN learning circle that invites participants to explore resilience through Jewish text, conversation, reflection, and shared learning. Together, we will wrestle with uncertainty, friendship, leadership, brokenness, and hope—seeking not simple answers, but deeper strength, wisdom, and connection. This learning circle offers space to reflect honestly, learn communally, and cultivate a resilience that can sustain both individuals and communities.

Be sure to mark your calendar for all class meetings: 1/4, 1/11, 1/18, 1/25, 2/1, 2/8, 2/15, and 2/22.  

This class meets in person only. 

Cost: $36 for members (including conversion students), $54 for non-member guests. 

If you have any questions, feel free to contact Susannah Kolstad at skolstad@bethambaltimore.org. 

What We Will Learn

Session 1: Why Learn? Cultivating a Learner’s Mindset
Explore how different ways of learning—text, reflection, conversation, and lived experience—build resilience and help us remain open when one path feels blocked.

Session 2: How Do I Face Uncertainty?
Examine Jewish wisdom on living with unpredictability, vulnerability, and fear, and how staying present can cultivate grit and meaning.

Session 3: Friendships That Carry Us
Reflect on the challenges and necessity of adult friendships and how investing in relationships strengthens resilience during times of loss and change.

Session 4: Revelation From the Ruins
Learn from moments of upheaval in Jewish history to explore what clarity, insight, and holiness can emerge from brokenness—personally and communally.

Session 5: Leading in Hard Times
Study models of imperfect leadership in Torah to better understand how to lead wisely, humbly, and sustainably during times of pressure and crisis.

Session 6: Developing Complex Resilience
Reimagine resilience not just as “bouncing back,” but as transformation—exploring how hardship can fuel creativity, vision, and communal renewal.

Session 7: Through Shards and Into Wholeness
Consider how memory, forgetting, and brokenness shape who we become, and how wisdom can endure even when details fade.

Session 8: Siyum (Closing & Celebration)
Mark the completion of our learning together by celebrating the Torah, insights, and questions uncovered through this shared journey.

Please meet in Rav Daniel's study.
