New Ways of Understanding the Kaddish with Rabbi Stuart Kelman

​Join us for a text-study on the Kaddish prayer with our own Rabbi Stuart Kelman. 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.
