Rabbi Steven Stark Lowenstein | Congregation Am Shalom
Rabbi Steven Stark Lowenstein is the Senior Rabbi of Am Shalom in Glencoe, where he has led a vibrant, inclusive congregation for over two decades. In these clips, Brandon Gimbel speaks with Rabbi Lowenstein about how faith leaders often serve as the first point of contact for individuals and families in distress, the discernment involved in knowing when to refer someone for professional help, and the shared work of presence, listening, and holding. They also discuss mindfulness in Jewish practice—from prayer and breath to collective reflection—and how community can become a setting for healing, balance, and renewal.
