Hadassah to host daylong ‘Living Fully’ session with renowned Rabbi Kripper

The Greater New Orleans Chapter of Hadassah will host a special daylong workshop with Rabbi Daniel Kripper, the author of  “Living Fully: Keys to Spiritual Growth and Happiness” on Sunday, December 4.

Rabbi Daniel Kripper

The live, in-person event will take place from 9:30 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. at Congregation Shir Chadash, 3737 W. Esplanade Ave. in Metairie.

Rabbi Kripper, a native of Argentina, has served congregations in Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Aruba, and the United States. A native of Buenos Aires, he has an extensive career, including studies in sociology and social psychology. Throughout his career, he has specialized in education, life coaching and spiritual counseling.

The rabbi completed his studies at the University of Buenos Aires before receiving his ordination from the Latin American Rabbinical Seminary in Buenos Aires, following a rabbinical program in Jerusalem and postgraduate studies at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.

Rabbi Kripper completed his professional training in Clinical Pastoral Education in the United States, and directed healing and emotional support programs for the ill and their families. He has been deeply involved in interfaith dialogue and has acted as an advisor for international interfaith organizations. He received an honorary doctorate from the Jewish Theological Seminary of America for his successful service in spiritual leadership. In addition to authoring “Living Fully,” he has written several articles and other publications.

This Hadassah event marks the first time his “Living Fully” book is being published in an English translation. This paperback book is being made possible through the cooperation of the rabbi, who is generously donating all royalties from the sale of this edition to the Greater New Orleans Chapter of Hadassah. The book may be purchased at the event or pre-purchased on Amazon.

During the workshop participants will have the opportunity to interact with Rabbi Kripper and other attendees for a life-affirming experience. During the workshop, Rabbi Kripper will guide participants to:

  • Overcome fear and transform it into fuel
  • Build successful relationships through kindness, empathy and compassion
  • Enhance happiness and quality of life

All donation levels for the workshop include lunch. Donations of $72 and above will receive a book at the event, which Rabbi Kripper will sign personally, and will be listed in the event program. Registration for the workshop is still available by clicking here.

Shir Chadash and the Jewish Federation of Greater New Orleans are also co-sponsors of the event.

Program note: Because of the nature of an in-person event and out of an abundance of caution, Hadassah is requiring proof of vaccination and booster(s) upon arrival to all in-person events.
