Taste of Gamliel Lecture: Forgotten Mourners
Rabbi Daniel Greyber
Thursday November 5, 2020, 8:00pm EDT; 5:00pm PDT
Jewish law defines the mourning process for a parent, spouse, sibling, and child. But what happens when we lose someone who does not fit in those categories? Author of Faith Unravels: A Rabbi’s Struggle with Grief and God, Rabbi Daniel Greyber will recall his own experience of being a forgotten mourner after the death of two close friends and we will explore how we can build communities that acknowledge all who grieve and help them to heal.

Gamliel Institute Course 5: Chevrah Kadisha: Liturgy and Ritual Practice
Dan Fendel, Rabbi Stuart Kelman, Rabbi Janet Madden
December 1, 2020 through February 16, 2021
Our tradition has a broad and rich liturgy and practice around end-of-life issues. This course examines the liturgy and related practice in detail, focusing on funeral and burial prayers, local minhagim, and the role of the rabbi. This course is an exploration of the rich liturgy and ritual practices around dying and death that are not associated with the common Chevrah Kadisha practices of taharah and shmirah, which are covered in detail in Course 2.
