ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

The Blue Dove Foundation expresses our utmost gratitude to the individuals and organizations that played a role in bringing this resource to life. We are thankful to the partners who have worked with the Blue Dove Foundation to present our Jewish Approaches to Mental Wellness: An Exploration of Jewish Values and Prayer workshop.

We owe a special thanks to Rabbi Brad Levenberg of Temple Sinai in Atlanta for his inspiration and contribution to our first mi sheberach interpretation and for sharing his thoughts about the prayers.

And a big mazal tov to everyone who helped make this book a reality. When dedicated people with a true passion for tikkun olam (repairing the world) work together, anything is possible.
