Join us for our December Community Meetup, where Rabbi Seth Goldstein will speak about Natural Organic Reduction (aka “human composting”) and other new alternative disposition methods that are increasingly becoming legal in the US and how his community is meeting the moment. When Washington State became the first state to legalize NOR, Rabbi Seth Goldstein was approached by members of his congregation interested in incorporating Jewish practices around death with NOR. This led to an exploration of how to honor and create Jewish rituals to both maintain Jewish traditions and support people’s choices. Rabbi Seth Goldstein (he/him) has served as rabbi of Temple Beth Hatfiloh in Olympia, WA since graduating from the Reconstructionist Rabbinical College in 2003. He is both committed to creating vibrant Jewish community and using a spiritual voice to speak to issues of social justice and common concern. Most recently he creates Jewish content on TikTok and Instagram. (@rabbi_360)
