Discover the Jewish responses and rituals that take us through mourning and arrive at a place of healing.  When death inevitably enters our lives, Jewish wisdom and ritual can help us cope with heartbreak and loss, the anguish of why suffering exists.  We will also seek to understand the big questions of what Judaism says about life after death and its understanding of messianic times.  With a wider lens, we gain a context with which to better understand our moments of anguish as individuals and as a community. This class will be taught by Shayna Friedman. Shayna has been working in Jewish education for more than 20 years and administration for more than 15. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English from Tulane University and a Master of Arts in Jewish Education (MAJE) from the Rhea Hirsch School of Jewish Education at Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion in Los Angeles, CA.
