Grief and Death

These graphics were created to spark interest in learning more about the Jewish customs around death and mourning. They may provide an answer to the question provided or possibly lead to learning more about a topic by following links to websites or articles that can be tagged to the graphics when posted. The idea is to reach people when they are not in crisis or in mourning, enabling them to better prepare themselves and their family members by asking questions ahead of time, encouraging proactive conversations and planning. They can be used as is, or as a way to introduce other educational opportunities in your community or online. The target age group would be young adults who can be found using Instagram, but may also be used to spark conversations with teens or families. 

The graphics used in the PowerPoint were sized to be Instagram posts.
