Talking about death not only better prepares us to approach life’s most challenging moments, but also helps us articulate and affirm who we are and what we ultimately care about. Created by rabbis, theologians, wellness, and palliative care experts, Death Over Dinner (or Donuts): Jewish Edition provides a unique lens through which to build and strengthen our personal beliefs about life and death. Join this brave, healing space to talk about how we choose to live our lives, recognizing that they are finite. This structured conversation will be facilitated in small groups with plenty of opportunity for reflection and conversation. We’ll also provide an overview of how to lead such conversations yourself, along with the tools needed for you to host a future gathering of your own.
