Come join the Har Hashem community to explore the exceptional contemporary practice of Ethical Wills. A phenomenal written gift by you, for you, your family and friends. An Ethical Will is a love letter that expresses your values, traits, hopes, and stories. R’ Rosalie will explain the sources of ethical wills in Judaism, its contemporary meaning, and how to explore intentional communication about what is important to you. Your ‘to be’ and ‘to do’ list about your precious legacy awaits. There will be teaching, journaling, sharing and envisioning. At the end of the workshop you will be given a workbook that helps keep up with witnessing yourself presently and for many years onward. A conveyance of selfhood and testimony. Please bring adjectives, wonder, notebook, pen, and a small mirror.
