End of Life & Advance Care Planning Workshop
2020-01-12 17:30 - 20:30
Sunday, January 12, 2020 • 5:30 PM – 8:30 PM • HNT
Co-sponsored by Herzl-Ner Tamid, Jewish Family Service Seattle, and Kavana Cooperative
Did you know that 80-90% of people say it’s important to talk with loved ones and put their wishes about end-of-life care in writing – yet less than 30% have actually done so? Sound familiar? If so, this workshop is for you. Open to the HNT, JFS, and Kavana communities, Julie Katz, RN, Julie Kohl, MD, and Jane Becker, MD, will create space for conversation – over dinner! – about palliative and end of life care, helping you clarify what you want at the end of life. We will then discuss advance care planning, specifically walking you through how to complete advance directive documents that are legally valid in Washington State. You will leave with the knowledge and materials needed to name a health care power of attorney and complete an advanced directive.
Space is limited. Babysitting may be provided upon request to Rebecca@h-nt.org. Register at h-nt.org/advance-care by January 5 so that we can prepare materials and meals in advance.
All materials, vegetarian dinner, and any babysitting are free of charge, thanks to a grant from the UW Cambia Palliative Care Center of Excellence and the Jewish Federation of Greater Seattle.

Let My People Go: African-Americans and Jews in Conversation About the Bible’s Freedom Story
2019-12-11 19:00 - 21:00 | Radiant Church, Renton
Wednesdays, November 13, December 4, 11
7:00 PM – 9:00 PM • Radiant Church, Renton
Led by Pastor Mike Thomas, Rabbi Jay Rosenbaum, Dr. Mark Jones
African Americans and Jews share a love of the Bible and a love of freedom. The story of the Exodus of the Children of Israel from Egypt has inspired our communities through the centuries to pursue our own paths to liberation. That path is ongoing.
The journey to the Promised Land has at times taken us in different directions, unique to our experiences. Yet the African American and Jewish communities share a deep common bond. In the face of rising racism and antisemitism in America and in the world, we look to old friends for nourishment and support. Join us in a conversation about Exodus designed to expand our understanding of the human spirit, strengthen the connection between the African American and Jewish communities and lead us closer to Dr. King’s vision of beloved community.
Session One: The Nature of Slavery
Session Two: Resistance
Session Three: The Long Road to Freedom
If you’d like to participate, please contact Rabbi Rosenbaum at RabbiRosenbaum@h-nt.org.
