The Embrace of Earth: How Jewish Funeral Traditions Can Reconnect Our People and Save Green Places
Join us for an afternoon of learning with Rabbi Emily Katcher, hosted by the Jewish Association for Death Education (JADE).
When we establish and strengthen our Jewish funeral traditions, we bring compassion to our mourners, honor to those who have passed on, and stronger relationships in our Jewish communities.
Today, even as many Jews feel a disconnect, a renaissance of Jewish community centered funeral care is reconnecting them. What's more, the Green Burial movement is teaching us all about how burial itself can become a lasting environmental good, rich with Jewish tradition.
When we bring together these two paths, we bring a renewed spirituality to all kinds of Jews, and we make our whole world better and imbued with meaning.
This talk will take place at Hillel at the University of Washington Center for Jewish Life. Light refreshments will be served. If you are so inspired, you will have the opportunity to support JADE in Seattle.
