​Join us for a unique look at the relationship between the seasons and our mourning traditions in this two-session Series by Rabbi Anne Brener. This Ben Zakkai series is designed for anyone who is interested in learning more about Jewish death practices: Jews and those who love them as well as professionals that might be in the role of supporting Jewish families at the end of life.

​Everyone dies in the middle of a conversation, and the challenging work of mourning is to transform that conversation into an enriching spiritual connection, while strengthening our earthly lives. The Jewish mourning rituals make that possible. Each day of the Jewish Yizkor cycle corresponds with a different task of grief, and a different agricultural season. This workshop explores the nature of each of these days of Yizkor and a mystical understanding of the Kaddish to harness the healing embedded in these practices, as we complete unfinished business with the deceased, evolve our relationships and connect more deeply with the earth. We will use the changing seasons as focal points in time and place to assess our personal growth and determine our growing edges as our relationships with those we have lost continue to grow and change.
