Course Description:  Have you ever thought about what happens to you after you die? Every culture and every religion ask the same question. The various responses found within the multitude of Jewish traditions do have a consistent pattern. In this course, participants will review selected excerpts from primary sources from Jewish spiritual, religious, philosophic and personal writings. Interpretations of and opinions about the readings will be developed through group discussion. While an essential goal is to appreciate the variety of sentiments from these Jewish sources, a primary concern will be how these are relevant to our own individual beliefs, conclusions and questions.
