"Confronting Cremation" in The Jewish Daily Forward

[Regina Sandler-Phillips]

Shalom to All:

 

Over the past year and a half, I have been facilitating and/or providing teaching resources for "Dust and Ashes" dialogues in New York, Illinois, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, and Florida.  I have seen firsthand how crucial it is to bring this challenging conversation to the next level, and I am very pleased that The Forward has now provided me with a forum for doing so:

I hope this resource will help you in your educational efforts.  May we go from strength to strength.

 

With many blessings for the Festival of Revelation and beyond,

WAYS OF PEACE promotes community justice and kindness

through mindful responses to human needs throughout the life cycle.

 

"In cities of diversity...we sustain the poor...and visit the sick...

and bury the dead...and comfort the bereaved...for these are ways of peace."

(Jerusalem Talmud, Tractate Gittin)
