Ethical Wills Workshop

Ethical wills, sometimes called spiritual or legacy letters, are resources Jews have used for centuries to articulate and pass on deeply held values and beliefs. Historically, they were letters written by parents to children; now they often address a wider circle of friends and family, and can come in audio, video, or other creative formats. They contain a person’s moral legacy, including stories, life lessons, and blessings for the future. Unlike wills that govern material assets and property, ethical wills are not enforceable by law. They are values articulated, saved, and passed on for future generations. This workshop is for all ages!

Our facilitator for the 2-part workshop is Dirk Bird. Dirk resides in Colorado and is the Vice President, Planned Giving & Endowment and Managing Director of the Jewish Federation of North America.
