Room 32 or on Zoom
Instructor: Rabbi Sam Kaye

What happens to you after you die? Often Jews hear that Judaism doesn't have an answer to this question. The answer is more complex than that; as Judaism doesn't have just one answer... it has many! Join Rabbi Kaye as he explores a variety of classical and modern Jewish sources, in his final elective at the Temple, answering the questions of life, death, the soul, and what happens next.
