One day.
One gathering.
One Jewish End-of-Life Field.

If you serve the Jewish community, chances are your members will face mortality: someone else’s or their own. Are you ready to support them Jewishly? 

Note: while we are all mortal, the Convening is designed for those in roles serving the Jewish community—-whether in volunteer or professional capacity.
