10@9 The Art of Dying, Part 4 - July 24, 2023

This morning we discuss what Judaism says about death, dying, and mourning - practical details from which emerge lessons in living life more meaningfully and fully. Part 4 covers the dignified and holy way a person is prepare for burial, the constructive release of tearing Kriah (tearing a garment before the funeral), and the true purpose of a Hesped (eulogy), which is different from words of tribute. We share advice on how to make this speech meaningful and uplifting, avoiding superficiality or clichés. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship.
