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 2 — Illness\, Care\, and Final Moments (In person and on Zoom\, Saturday October 24th\, following the Shabbat service and Kiddush lunch\, at 12:30 pm) \nAs illness progresses and the end of life draws near\, Jewish tradition offers profound guidance on how to care for the body and soul. This class examines Jewish perspectives on hospice and palliative care\, the value placed on aging in place and maintaining dignity (kavod ha-briyot) throughout decline\, and the customs surrounding a person’s final moments\, including the Vidui (deathbed confession) and the presence of loved ones at the bedside. We’ll also explore the vital role of pastoral care and chaplaincy in walking alongside patients and families\, and how Jewish law balances the preservation of life with allowing a natural death.\nCost Range: $0 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: ADA Accessible Venue;Post-Event Recording \n \nOrganization: Bet Mishpachah \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is

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

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. \nGrief does not end with burial\, and Judaism provides a structured\, time-honored path through loss: shiva\, sheloshim\, the twelve months of mourning\, and the ongoing practice of reciting Kaddish and observing yartzeit. This final class explores how these customs guide mourners gradually back into life while ensuring the deceased are never forgotten. We will also turn to a topic often left unspoken—Jewish views on the afterlife and the World to Come—examining the range of beliefs found throughout Jewish thought\, from ancient texts to modern interpretations\, and how these ideas offer comfort\, meaning\, and hope to those left behind.\nCost Range: $0 – $10 \n \nAccommodations: Captioning;Post-Event Recording \n \nOrganization: Bet Mishpachah \n \nLivestream or Virtual: Yes\, it is
