23rd Annual TBA Women's Interfaith Forum in honor of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

On Wednesday, January 18, over 180 participants from numerous houses of worship and faith–based groups from greater Essex County attended Temple B’nai Abraham’s 23rd annual Women's Interfaith Forum (WIF), celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy, sponsored by the temple’s Social Action Committee and Sisterhood. Since 1994, the Temple B’nai Abraham Women’s Interfaith Forum, celebrating the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., has served as a backdrop for dialogue about issues that are of interest to women of all backgrounds and to share a vegetarian meal, prepared by the women of TBA’s Sisterhood. This year a panel of experts led a discussion of “Managing Wellness in a Stressful World: Exploring Tools for Mindfulness and Self-Care.” TBA Congregational Nurse and Spiritual Director Karen Frank moderated the panel discussion comprised of wellness experts Dr. Stephen Becker, DC and Galina Morris, LAC (licensed acupuncturist), of the Becker Spine and Sports Institute in Livingston and Ellen Roberston, HHC, RYT, Holistic Health Coach Yoga Therapist and Meditation Teacher.
