Death in Jewish Tradition and Lore with Len Hausman

Monday Mornings November 27 and December 4 // 9:30 am // Zoom

There is no more uncomfortable subject than death, even more so in these
times. Rituals and practices around death are a window into a culture's
beliefs and views not just of death, but also of life. They can be viewed as
psychological defense mechanisms to soften the reality of death and pain of
loss for the bereaved. They function as guides to how a community supports
those in grief. While there is no one way to mourn, they offer a roadmap for
those who have lost a loved one. Exploring what Jewish tradition has to say
about death is fascinating. While our rituals and practices have evolved
some over the centuries, their basis has not. We have centuries-old Halacha
- Jewish law - surrounding death, but there is also a fair dose of folklore
and even superstition in the mix. And surprisingly, a number of our rituals
are also seen in the 

practices of other cultures.

Bookends With Sisterhood Returns!


Thursday, January 4th // 7:00 pm // In-person and on Zoom

We will be discussing Kantika by Elizabeth Graver.


Elizabeth Graver began writing her fifth novel,
<https://www.amazon.com/Kantika-Novel-Elizabeth-Graver/dp/1250869846> Kantik
<https://www.amazon.com/Kantika-Novel-Elizabeth-Graver/dp/1250869846> a, in
2014, but the Turkish Sephardic dressmaker at the heart of the
multi-generational, continent-spanning saga has been with her for a
lifetime. That’s because she was inspired by Graver’s maternal grandmother,
Rebecca (née Cohen) Baruch Levy.


The discussion will be moderated by Sara Sherman.
