What’s Missing? Creating Jewish Blessings and Rituals as We Age

In these workshops we will explore what we feel might be missing from Jewish tradition—blessing and ritual—around aging and end of life planning. We will explore “firsts” that we have experienced, both joy and sorrow, that we weren’t able to formally honor through Jewish tradition and have an opportunity to create our own individual blessing and/or ritual around those moments. We will also learn about Jewish resources that may help us as we continue to mark the passage of time.  Please note, this program is open to participants of all faith or non-faith traditions and levels of knowledge and will also focus on Jewish ritual and blessing.

Note: This group can be small (5-10 people), or large (up to 50)—group activities can be tailored to the size of the community.
