Shabbat + JADE (Jewish Aid in Dying)

What happens at a Jewish funeral, are people buried, cremated...composted? What are the traditions and decisions that can guide us in making choices for ourselves and our loved ones. Decisions needed in the final stages of life can bring up difficult ethical and legal questions.

Join us for a brief humanistic Shabbat and discussion with Evie Cohen from JADE (Jewish Aid in Dying) to learn about the array of options available in planning for yourself or others.

Beth Ami is the only Humanistic Jewish congregation in Colorado and is a proud affiliate of the Society for Humanistic Judaism. We celebrate Jewish holidays, learning and life cycle events through the secular lens of history, culture, and reason. We believe in the human capacity to create a better world without supernatural intervention.

Beth Ami is a welcoming community where we connect to Jewish past, celebrate Jewish present and link to Jewish future through a humanistic philosophy. We encourage anyone interested in learning about Humanistic Judaism to attend this and all our events.

We are a non-profit 501(c)(3) Nonprofit Corporation and rely on membership dues to support the infrastructure required for our events. Please consider becoming a paid member, which includes membership in the Society for Humanistic Judaism. Send a message on Meetup if you are interested in membership.

Let's do Jewish together - Humanistically!
