Death and Dying in Jewish Tradition with Rabbi Annie Tucker

Wednesdays, 1/29, 2/5, and 2/26 at 12:00 pm (on Zoom) and 8:15 pm (in person) (the same content will be taught twice, once during the day and once at night, so please come whenever it is most convenient!)

Preparing for end of life, whether one’s own or that of a loved one, is one of the most solemn and sacred tasks that most of us will ever undertake. In this class, we’ll explore the rituals, beliefs, and practices that seek to provide guidance and comfort during life’s final stages and immediately thereafter, including end of life decision making, mourning and burial customs, and theological perspectives on the afterlife. Through discussion, personal reflection, and the study of sacred text, we will explore how Jewish communities have honored the deceased and supported the bereaved throughout history and still do today.
