SUMMARY:Death Over Drinks
DESCRIPTION:The many mystical and meaningful Jewish traditions that surround death weren’t\nexactly covered in Hebrew school\, which is pretty unfortunate\, because they’re\nsome of the most interesting (and comforting) practices in our culture. Think\nit’s about time you learned a little about death in Judaism? How about over\ndrinks? Then you’ve come to the right place! Whether you are curious about\nshiva etiquette\, want to get some background info for when you become a\nmourner\, or are interested in learning how to comfort friends and family\nduring a loss\, this conversation is for you. We’ll be joined by Rabbi Jennifer\nKaluzny of Temple Israel to learn the basics about how Judaism conceptualizes\ndeath and how tradition teaches us to interact with one another during times\nof grief. \n$10 per person includes one drink on us and snacks. \nThis event is intended for young adults ages 21 to 39. \nThank you to our chairs:\nAdina Goss & Daniel Cohen \nView event on Jlive: https://jlive.app/events/10134
