Why talk about death over dinner? The way we die—illness and loss, end of life decisions, death rituals, what happens after we die—is probably the most important conversation Americans aren’t having. Talking about death not only better prepares us to approach life’s most challenging moments but also helps us articulate and affirm who we are and what we ultimately care about, leaving us better able to embrace the mysteries of death and to appreciate life. Working with rabbis, theologians, wellness specialists, and palliative care experts; Death Over Dinner—Jewish Edition provides an additional lens through which to build personal beliefs.
Death Over Dinner—Jewish Edition is designed to make having conversations about death and dying as simple and welcoming as breaking bread around the dinner table. More than ever, we need spaces where we can dig deeper into the wealth of Jewish wisdom about death and dying.
