What is a Jewish Healing Circle?

A Jewish Healing Circle offers a space for individuals to pray for healing for themselves and others. The program includes music, movement, meditation and text to create a calm, uplifting experience.

Jewish tradition is replete with practices like visiting the sick (bikkur cholim), reciting Psalms for those in need of healing, and offering a misheberach (healing prayer) as Moses did for his sister, Miriam. Rabbi Joseph S. Ozarowski, in his article, Is Jewish Healing Kosher,” cites Orthodox sources that sanction the work of the Jewish healing movement.

In Sue Gurland’s Healing Circle, participants join in song, prayer and meditation that focus on the Kabbalistic healing energies of the time of year and the Jewish calendar. The theme varies each month according to the cycle of seasons and holy days.
