Living Forward and Becoming Our Elders

Hosted By: The Florence Melton School of Adult Jewish Learning

Jewish texts and ideas provide a significant amount of support and guidance as we enter our later life stages. In this meaningful new course with Rabbi Richard Address, Founder and Director of Jewish Sacred Aging, examine the power and passion of Jewish tradition as it speaks to changes that we all experience as we age. Look at Jewish approaches to caregiving, physical and mental health, and discover new rituals designed for this life stage. Through challenging conversations and ideas, Rabbi Address aims to provide a roadmap for navigating this stage of life using Jewish traditions, texts, and experiences.
