Deut. 34 The Last Chapter in Moses’ Torah

How the Israelites said Goodbye

Text & Thought

Since we read this chapter on Simchat Torah and not on Shabbat, we never get a chance to say goodbye to Moshe Rabbenu. The Israelites did have that chance. We will study this chapter and you may be surprised at their reactions!

How to Talk to Mourners

What to say and what not to say, when someone dies

Ritual & Prayer

Our society teaches us how to acquire friends, acquaintances and things, but not how to lose them. When someone dies, we hardly know what to say. People too often say the wrong things because they just don't know the right words. We will discuss "negative grief language," what we should never say to mourners, and "positive grief language," what we should say to mourners.
