The Beacon Hebrew Alliance (BHA) presents an interactive workshop and discussion on Nov. 15 by Rabbi Rachel Cowan: Growing Older: A Spiritual Practice for People of All Ages, about the later stages of life and how they illuminate every stage of life

Rabbi Cowan is senior fellow and co-founder of the Institute for Jewish Spirituality, an organization that works with rabbis, cantors, educators and lay leaders to deepen the spiritual dimension of contemporary Judaism. Cowan has been widely published in many books and publications, including Growing Up Yanqui and Mixed Blessings (the latter with Paul Cowan). In 2007 and 2012 she was selected as one of the 50 most influential rabbis by Newsweek magazine and in 2010 was chosen as one of the 50 most influential women rabbis by the Jewish Daily Forward.
