Jewish Funeral Traditions on Film Online

Even if you grew up with a good Jewish education, funeral, burial and mourning traditions don't get the attention of other life cycle events - until there's a death in the family. This online presentation will memorably illustrate the why and how of Jewish traditions around death and mourning using film clips from comedies and dramatic films.

Presenter Gail Rubin, CT, is pioneering death educator, a member of the Albuquerque Chevra Kadisha for 15 years and she serves on the cemetery committee for Congregation Albert reform temple. She has presented talks with film clips illustrating Jewish funeral, burial and mourning traditions for many years.
