Mourning and Mitzvah with Cantor Emerita Annie Rose

With peaceful, loving thoughts to everyone in these uncertain times, Cantor Emerita Annie Rose invites you to participate in a 5-session class entitled Mourning and Mitzvah, beginning on Thursday, January 7.

Mourning and Mitzvah is designed for those who have lost a loved one recently or in years past, those who would like to learn more about Jewish mourning practice, and even those who have taken the class before and want to revisit the topic. During the five sessions, we explore Jewish customs and traditions for mourning family members and friends, comforting other people who are grieving, approaching end-of-life issues, and more. Each year has been a little different, depending on the experiences and interests of the class.

Cantor Emerita Annie Rose has been teaching the class at TBE for many years, and despite the challenging topic, each year the sessions have provided a rewarding journey for all of us. This is the first time we have offered the class on Zoom.

Our text is Mourning and Mitzvah: A Guided Journal for Walking the Mourner’s Path Through Grief to Healing (25th Anniversary Edition) 3rd Edition by Rabbi Anne Brener, available through local or online booksellers.
