This week, Leeron braved her first experience hosting on her own and covered for Noam as he was under the weather. After talking about her nerves, she welcomed our guest Lauren Zaslansky Conner. Lauren was a past Board President at Burbank Temple Emanu El where Leeron worked as the Preschool Director. She shares her experience as a community leader when a congregant or employee goes through a divorce as well as how the kids are involved. Lauren opened up about her experience as a child of divorce and her observation of how her mother’s social life changed as a single mom. These observations have provided a level of compassion Lauren has when helping her friends or community members going through divorce. There are some great nuggets of information here for synagogue leaders on how to support their community.
