Death Over Drinks
2025-01-14 19:00 - 20:30 | The Corner Grill, Bar + Game Room 344 W Nine Mile Rd, Ferndale
The many mystical and meaningful Jewish traditions that surround death weren’t
exactly covered in Hebrew school, which is pretty unfortunate, because they’re
some of the most interesting (and comforting) practices in our culture. Think
it’s about time you learned a little about death in Judaism? How about over
drinks? Then you’ve come to the right place! Whether you are curious about
shiva etiquette, want to get some background info for when you become a
mourner, or are interested in learning how to comfort friends and family
during a loss, this conversation is for you. We’ll be joined by Rabbi Jennifer
Kaluzny of Temple Israel to learn the basics about how Judaism conceptualizes
death and how tradition teaches us to interact with one another during times
of grief.
$10 per person includes one drink on us and snacks.
This event is intended for young adults ages 21 to 39.

Shabbat Lights and a Cocktail Night is a welcoming Friday night experience for
young Jewish adults looking for something more than just dinner plans. We’ll
start the evening with Shabbat blessings and a strolling dinner, then ease
into a relaxed night of drinks, conversation and a cozy bar vibe to carry us
into the weekend. Come for the food, stay for the community and maybe order
another round.
**$25 per person until July 1** includes one drink ticket, food, activities
and more. Food will be kosher style with a certified kosher option available
upon request.
Additional drink ticket is available for purchase. Limited one per person.
**Shabbat Dinner begins promptly at 7:30 PM**
$30 per person until July 24.
$40 per person on July 25.
This event is intended for young adults in their 20s.
Street parking is available near the venue.
