End-of-Life Research Project

There has been little to no research fielded about Jewish end-of-life rituals and practices. Through a grant from the Jews of Color Initiative, we engaged erica riddick to lead this project with a focus on Jewish Communities of Color to learn about their experiences and what is needed at the end of life. We are pleased to share the Executive Summary of our findings from an in-depth survey of 45 Jews of Color and interviews with 11 survey respondents.
