A workshop devoted to exploring an internal snapshot that can speak volumes to you and your loved ones about your acquired values and wisdom. 

Ethical wills flourished in usage and elaborate style in medieval jewish communities. They sought to clarify for subsequent generations behaviors and outlooks which ground one's character for the good. As such, ethical wills are in keeping with all traditions and cultures.  If you have not RSVPd, click here.

Regardless of your age or family constellation, you are invited to explore the elements that comprise an ethical will and, through group discussion and interaction, fashion a shareable ethical will of your own.

These three 1.5 hour exciting sessions will be facilitated by Rabbi Dr. Scott Saulson, a certified mediator in family dynamics, who has served as an interim rabbi in a number of states these last 14 years before retiring from the congregational rabbinate and returning to his home here in Atlanta, where he served for 14 years as the Jewish community chaplain. 

There’s a little bit of homework to complete prior to the first class!

1. “Taste and see how good GOD is” (Psalm 34.9): Please bring a recipe that is special to you, and be prepared to talk a little bit about why it is special to you.

2. Consider these two Jewish teachings:

“Find a mentor, acquire a friend, and give others the benefit of the doubt.” [Source of Mindfulness, Avot 1.6] vs. I learned to find a mentor, acquire a friend, and give others the benefit of the doubt.

What different inferences and what different questions arise from these two statements?
