In this virtual seminar, Rabbi Paula Drill will provide the spiritual approach to aging by analyzing Jewish texts and values that lead us toward an uplifting perspective rather than a declinist view on aging. Rabbinic wisdom tells us to live every day as if it were our last. At first glance, this teaching may seem morbid, but it can actually be a key to a more vibrant, purposeful, and joyful life in our golden years. Join us as we end this meaningful program series with hopefulness and learning.
