Adult Ed with Rabbi Judith Kummer - End of Life Issues: A Jewish Perspective

While there is some taboo around talking — or even thinking — about the topic of death and dying, it is a truism to say that each of us will someday die. A question many people ask is what control or input they can have in the quality of the time leading up to their death, and how much they will need to suffer at end of life. Judaism has a lot to say about this topic, much of it based in a deep sense of compassion. Please join us for a discussion of Jewish attitudes towards life support, ceasing medical care, living wills and caring for patients in our final days. All are welcome. .

Wednesday, February 25, 7:30 pm Adult Ed with Rabbi Judith Kummer - Jewish Humor: Laughing Through Our Tears

With all of the serious issues we are focusing on in the world and in the Jewish community at the moment, we may need a little levity to help carry us through this time. Please join us to study what Jewish humor is and is not, and to share some Jewish jokes. If inclined, please bring your favorite Jewish joke (not offensive, please!) and be prepared not only to share it but to laugh together with the group!
