SUMMARY:What Happens When We Die?
DESCRIPTION:Death is the one thing every one of us has in common — and yet\, for many\, it remains shrouded in mystery and fear. This four-part class invites us to face that reality with courage\, curiosity\, and Jewish wisdom. Join Rabbi Steven and Mishkan’s Progressive Chevra Kedisha to learn the rituals and practices around death and mourning\, explore the landscape of end-of-life planning\, and reflect on what it means to live with greater clarity knowing that our days are finite. One of the greatest gifts you can give your loved ones is a plan — so that when the time comes (and it will)\, they can grieve fully without the added burden of guesswork. Let’s create space to talk about what scares us\, what sustains us\, and how our tradition helps us hold it all. \nThis is a four-part class that meets in the evening on the following dates: February 9th\, February 23rd\, March 9th\, March 23rd. \nRegister
