My friend Rabbi Jonathan Jaffit didn't expect euthanasia to impact him personally.
As an Orthodox Jew, he always told me, "That's not something we do."
But one day, he got a phone call that brought the issue to him in an unexpected way.
In the newest Dying to Meet You vignette, "Renewing Life", Rabbi Jaffit shares the story and offers some poignant insights on our cultural moment.
The Renewing Life vignette is an excellent lead-in to the importance of the Compassionate Community Care program.

This is very encouraging. Caring for others in our community can give us hope and joy and keep us from despair. We need each other. Thank you Rabbi Jaffit for stepping out in compassion and for sharing your experience.
