4:00 p.m. Judaism Has a Lot to Say…About Death
With Rabbi Zimmerman
In Person at Temple Israel
Register for Judaism Has A Lot to Say…About Death
In a culture that often avoids conversations about death, Judaism invites us to engage with them openly and thoughtfully. Join Rabbi Zimmerman for an honest, compassionate exploration of what Jewish tradition teaches about death, dying, and what comes after. Together, we’ll consider how Jewish rituals, beliefs, and texts help us navigate mortality, mourning, memory, and legacy—all in a space that is respectful, supportive, and grounded in community.
Light refreshments will be served.
