SUMMARY:Calling in the Angels
DESCRIPTION:Pre-Yom Kippur study session\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAn intimate evening circle at a private home in the Berkeley Hills. Participants will learn about Jewish rituals around illness\, grief and loss\, led by Zoë Goldblatt\, Death Doula and Jewish educator. The time between Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur is an ideal time for reflection and preparation for Yom Kippur services or rituals that include Yizkor\, a tender memorial for loved ones who have died\, communal and individual prayers of atonement\, forgiveness\, and compassion; and the wearing of white garments which mirror white linen Jewish burial shrouds: a “rehearsal” for one’s own death. \n\n\n\nThis is a private event in Berkeley\, CA facilitated by Zoë Goldblatt\, End of Life Doula. Registration is by rsvp through the event host. By invitation only. \n\n\n\nCost: Optional donation of any amount to AriYael Jewish Healing Center \n\n\n\nIf you are interested in hosting a similar event at your home\, send your query to admin@ariyael.org.

SUMMARY:Dying as a Sacred Transition
DESCRIPTION:A Zoom workshop through the Older to Elder program at Wilderness Torah\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nwith Zoë Goldblatt and Rabbi Dan Goldblatt of AriYael \n\n\n\nThis workshop invites us to explore our hopes and fears around dying; explore our relationship with death; increase self-knowledge; learn how to break down barriers between ourselves and others when we most need comfort\, communion\, trust and safety.  \n\n\n\nWhen we explore our feelings and thoughts about death\, we learn more about our own lives now.  We come in direct contact with our own spiritual beliefs\, our life purpose\, our unfinished business\, and how we influence and are influenced by our environment and our relationships. \n\n\n\nRegistration is for the current cohort of the From Older to Elder program only. For future involvement\, learn more about Older to Elder.
