Jewish Approaches to End of Life with Rabbi Me’irah

Believe it or not, it’s going to happen to ALL of us. But lucky for us, our Jewish tradition is known for having superb end-of-life rituals that help us accept this reality, and also assist the mourners in the healing process of grieving. 

So let’s learn about them together, before the eleventh hour, with many beautifully illustrated presentations by Rabbi Me’irah, (pretty pictures help…) and some guest lecturers.
