Filling the Empty Chair

Filling the Empty Chair: Honoring and Remembering Grandparents and Loved Ones Who Have Died 

Grief for the death of a loved one is often most acute at holiday times when we deeply miss their participation in family traditions. Join Rabbi Melanie Levav of Shomer Collective to explore with grandchildren practical ways to fill these actual and proverbial empty chairs.

We will also address how to incorporate family stories about earlier generations into your regular conversations with grandchildren and ways in which Jewish wisdom and tradition encourage keeping grandparents’ memories alive for the next generations.
