What happens when we die and what happens to the soul are monumental questions.
In Jewish life we acknowledge that we truly do not know the answers. However, we who provide care in death-related settings believe we have important insight to share from our experiences. From the work we have done and through our personal journeys we would like to impart some ideas that we believe can be helpful to prepare for our own spiritual journey and to help our loved ones in theirs.
Our discussion will include an important connection to the High Holy Days and the spiritual work that we are called upon to do each year, as well as each day of our lives. We will begin with a beautiful, artistic, visual presentation - a mystical depiction in Judaism of the journey of the soul and the journey of the mourner(s) which weaves in Jewish tradition, rituals and practice.
