Final Moments: End-of-Life Decisions and Jewish Law (40:20)
The value of life is immeasurable, but is the same true for its increments? Are the medical advances some see as life-supporting in fact simply death-prolonging? This session discusses important end-of-life decisions many families face today, and offers the Jewish perspectives on dying with dignity. This lecture took place at the 9th annual National Jewish Retreat
