Yet\, how have they done so and how can tha t help us today? Dr. Robert Klitzman\, Professor of Psychiatry and Directo r of Masters of Bioethics Program at Columbia University\, draws on his ex tensive research work with patients and recent book\, “Doctor\, Will You Pray For Me?” \;He explores how we might best respond when facing c rises and stress. Dr. Klitzman\, a renowned author of ten books and 200 ac ademic journal articles\, will illuminate how insights from 'wisdom litera ture’ in Judaism and other traditions\, including Job and books in the B ible can help us. He will also touch on Maimonides’ 12th century classic \, A Guide for the Perplexed and more recent writings by Martin Buber. We will learn how these historic teachings can aid us and remind us to focus on what is ultimately important in life! Recent research that he and other s have conducted will highlight how reframing problems\, focusing on the p ositive and the present\, expressing gratitude and other approaches can as sist us\, as well.\n\nPlease join Ruth &\; Bil Ehrlich as they host thi s meaningful event about coping in our ever-changing world. We look forwar d to this interesting and educational discussion which will be followed by wine and cheese. This is a special program for Beth David members and the ir friends only.
