Living Longer, Living Better: How Jewish Texts and Traditions Can Help Navigate the Revolution in Longevity

In this final session, we will examine the explosion of creative rituals and prayers that speak to new stages of life that have been created as a result of longevity. We will look at new and re-interpreted prayers and rituals that speak to such issues as older adult co-habitation without marriage, the removal of a wedding ring after mourning, signing your advance directive, and the re-definition of adultery in light of Alzheimer's and dementia.

Nature makes a lot of sounds; some are beautiful, some are terrifying. Often we are too busy to open our ears and listen. Come into NatureSpace 311E on the 3rd floor of Hayden Library for a fun and relaxing event to guess which animals or natural phenomena are making a particular sound, followed by an exploration of the wealth of other sonic possibilities. End with a meditation to beautiful natural sounds giving you gratitude for the rest of your day!
