“What Matters: Caring Conversations About End of Life,” with Rabbi Mychal Springer, Director of the Center for Pastoral Education and the Helen Fried Kirshblum Goldstein Chair in Professional and Pastoral Skills

What Matters: Caring Conversations About End of Life is a new advance care planning initiative to enable individuals in the Jewish community to think about, plan for, and take steps to ensure that when the time comes, their end-of-life wishes will be respected and honored. Rabbi Springer will lead a conversation around some of the core ideas in this program and discuss some of the Jewish values we can engage with as part of this important process.

The JTS lecture will be preceded by a class with a local clergy member.
