Wednesday, May 13 • 1:00 - 2:15 p.m. As we each think about the future, many of us consider what we want to leave behind. Often this is in the context of our belongings and money, but what about our ethical values, ideals, beliefs and our Jewishness? Together we will explore the concept of ethical wills and how we can use this traditional Jewish practice with a modern resonance. Examples from the Torah to today, will help guide the discussion about the spiritual legacy we want to share for the future.
