Letters to the Future: The Art of Writing an Ethical Will

Letters to the Future: The Art of Writing an Ethical Will

A Workshop with Rabbi Jonathan Bernhard

For generations, Jewish families have passed down more than just material or physical possessions—they’ve shared heartfelt wisdom, cherished values, and personal blessings through ethical wills. These meaningful letters offer a glimpse into the soul, capturing what truly matters most.

Join Rabbi Jonathan Bernhard for a unique, hands-on workshop exploring the rich history and spiritual depth of ethical wills. You’ll have the opportunity to reflect, write, and begin crafting your own letter to the future.

Tuesday, June 10 & June 17; 7-8:15 pm
