UPCOMING PROGRAMS
Senior Schmooze with Rabbi Schlosberg - Ethical Will Writing Workshop
Monday, July 21 from 12:00 to 1:30 pm (with lunch)
An ethical will is the most meaningful gift you can bequeath to your family. It is a beautiful letter or document you create that lists details about your life, your values and your hopes for your families, all different from a legal will. Rabbi Schlosberg will lead us in a writing workshop to help you begin crafting this special legacy for your family. You won't want to miss it!
RSVP by 7/17 to lindas@grjc.org or register HERE.
