Facing Death, Embracing Life Series

It has been said that the more we face the reality of death, the more we are able to embrace life in its fullness. In this death-denying culture, we offer an opportunity to have important conversations, to explore Jewish rituals/traditions, to consider what we want for ourselves, our family and friends in that moment of transition. Join us for one, two, three or ideally, all four programs!

Please note: We have two separate registration forms below. One is to register and pay for the "Death over Dinner" program. If you choose to register for that program and wish to attend the other parts of the series, please return to this page and fill in the second registration form.
