SUMMARY:Jewish Teachings on Death and Dying with Bet Mishpachah
DESCRIPTION:Join Rabbi Jake Singer-Beilin of Bet Mishpachah for a four-part series on Jewish resources and views on death and dying. Each class is a free-standing event. Join us for one or all. \nClass 3 — Burial and Sacred Care of the Body (In person and on Zoom\, Saturday November 14th\,following the Shabbat morning service and Kiddush lunch\, at 12:30 pm)\nWhen death arrives\, Judaism responds with a set of practices designed to honor the deceased with the utmost dignity and respect. This session delves into the laws and customs of burial and explores other options the Jewish have chosen in more recent times. We will learn about the sacred ritual of tahara (ritual purification of the body)\, and the quiet\, dedicated work of the chevra kadisha (burial society) who perform this final act of loving-kindness. We will also discuss the significance of simple caskets\, grave markers and headstones\, and the traditions surrounding Jewish cemeteries—exploring how each element reflects core Jewish values of equality\, humility\, and respect for the human body as a vessel of the divine.\nCost Range: $0 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Post-Event Recording \n \nOrganization: Bet Mishpachah \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

SUMMARY:Supreme Court Justice Arthur and Dorothy Goldberg’s Passover Seders with CJM
DESCRIPTION:In 1960s Washington\, the Goldbergs hosted annual seders famous for weaving the Haggadah together with the songs and history of the labor movement. As Arthur Goldberg’s career carried him from representing steelworkers\, to serving as JFK’s Labor Secretary\, to a seat on the Supreme Court\, the guest list grew from local Jewish families and labor leaders to include Washington’s A-list. Arthur and his wife\, Dorothy—an artist and activist in her own right—filled their civil-rights-themed seders with joy and music. (Picture Dorothy singing Yiddish labor songs\, AFL-CIO leader George Meany belting Irish ballads\, and Chief Justice Earl Warren warbling “The Yellow Rose of Texas.”) \n  \nJoin us for a night of stories from guests lucky enough to have known the Goldbergs and attended these gatherings. \n  \nPresented in partnership with the Supreme Court Historical Society. \n  \nImage caption: Photograph by Mel Chamowitz\, gift of the photographer. Capital Jewish Museum Collection. \nSec. of Labor Arthur Goldberg being greeted by officers and spiritual leaders on the occasion of Shabbat services on Memorial Day at Adas Israel Congregation\, 1961.
