Dear Chaver,
For many years, rabbonim nationwide have used Shabbos Vayechi as an opportunity to address important end-of-life topics with their communities.
This year, Shabbos Vayechi will be focused on the following five topics:
1. Halachic Living Wills
2. Estate Planning K’Halachah
3. Burial Conversations with Family
4. Reaching Out To Prevent Cremation
5. Strengthening Chevra Kadisha
These topics are vital for individuals, families and communities, but the reality is that they are usually avoided.
Shabbos Vayechi is the perfect time.
We are asking you to please mark your calendars and on this Shabbos Vayechi, January 11, 2025, choose one end-of-life topic to address at any point over that week in a drasha, shiur or community program.
We will, be”H, provide you with helpful resources on each of these five topics.
Thank you for your continued partnership in caring for life, here and hereafter.
Respectfully,
Rabbi Elchonon Zohn
Founding President, NASCK – the National Association of Chevra Kadisha
