ADHD & Jewish Women*

with Carrie Bornstein, Dr. Sara Markowitz, Hilary K. Stern, Rabba Melissa Scholten-Gutierrez, Tema Smith, Cantor Hollis Schachner

Join us as we explore the unique intersection of ADHD, Jewish identity, and gender at this gathering tailored for understanding how ADHD impacts Jewish women, offering insights into diagnosis, personal navigation, and its effects on daily life, family, relationships, community involvement, and professional life.

We are grateful to be joined by experts Dr. Sara Markowitz and Hilary K. Stern and to learn more from Rabba Melissa Scholten-Guttierez, Tema Smith, and Cantor Hollis Schachner who will share their personal experiences of ADHD in their lives as Jewish women. Facilitated by Carrie Bornstein.

If you have ADHD, if you wonder if you have ADHD, if you love someone with ADHD – we want to talk this through with you.

ADHD impacts us as women differently. It impacts our daughters differently. And it impacts our Jewish lives differently. Let’s talk.

As always, come when you can, stay till you can’t. But, come. We have so much to learn from you.

Join us Wednesday 7/24 @ 8:00-9:45pm ET

Please invite someone you think might want to be with us, too.


This gathering is directed by Carrie Bornstein and made possible in part by support of the Aviv Foundation, and inspired by each one of us.
