servances will include a virtual discussion at 4 p.m.\, July 18: From Dest
ruction to Redemption: Personal Stories of Addiction and Recovery hosted b

City.
\nHear from members of the community who have suffered personal
ly or have a loved one who has suffered from addiction. The program will a
lso include reflection of the path from addiction to recovery as a form of
transition from destruction to redemption.
Participants will incl ude: Rabbi David M. Glickman\, Congregation Beth Shalom\, who will share t he story of his brother’s struggles with addiction\; Mia Cohen\, a recordi ng artist and social media branding specialist currently working for Jewis h Family and Career Services in Atlanta\; a college student\; an adult who has struggled with addiction\; and Marla Kauffman\, executive director an d founder of Jewish Addiction Awareness Network (JAAN)\, whose son is in a long-term recovery from substance use disorder.

\nSarah Link Ferguson\, development officer at First Call and member of Congregation Koi Ami\, will moderate the discu ssion. Ferguson is also a member of the recovery community and has written about her experience as a Jewish person in recovery for outlets such as T ablet magazine and the Temper. She is passionate about destigmatizing issu es such as mental illness and substance use disorder especially within the Jewish community.
\n“We are excited to hold this important communit y discussion especially at this time. Talking about addiction has always b een somewhat of a taboo subject in the Jewish community\, but the number o f individuals with substance abuse disorder has dramatically increased due to the pandemic\,” said Rabbi Jonathan Rudnick\, Community Chaplain at Je wish Family Services and co-organizer of the event. “We are hoping this wi ll be the beginning of many more discussions and a pathway to help for man y individuals.”
