With guest speakers from around the world, this important and exciting community-wide series brings new perspectives on cemeteries and burial practices. We will explore Jewish cemeteries in small Canadian towns, the state of abandoned European cemeteries, halakhah and eco-friendly burial practices, the relationship between Jewish and Indigenous burial rites, the future of Jewish burial in Toronto, and more.

This week features Lynn Greenhough, author of We Do the Best We Can: Jewish Burial Societies in Small Communities in North America and Kim Wheatley, Anishinaabe Cultural Consultant.
