With Joshua Stanton
"Ethical Wills" are not written by a lawyer and have nothing to
do with your material possessions. Instead, they are your ethical
legacies, detailing the values and experiences you would like to pass
on to your family and closest friends. Learn about how these "love
letters to your families" evolved from an ancient Jewish tradition into
one present in all three Abrahamic religions -- and experience what it
is like to record one yourself.
Joshua Stanton, a rabbinical student, co-Editor of the Journal of Inter-Religious Dialogue, and co-Director of Lessons of a Lifetime:
The Ethical Will Project, will talk about his efforts to record the
values of others through ethical wills and the remarkable potential
these documents have to bridge generational, religious, and cultural
divides.
