Understanding Viddui

​Join us for a webinar on the beautiful ritual of viddui with Rabbi Lori Klein. This webinar 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.

​Vidui is a deathbed prayer providing an opportunity to acknowledge our mistakes and ask forgiveness from God as well as our family. The deathbed is a sacred time to review our successes, our passions, and our wisdom accumulated over a lifetime. This webinar explores traditional approaches to this ritual as well as options for creating your own deathbed ceremony.
