Shlomo Brody & Beth Popp: Demystifying Death and the End of Life [Loss 1/3]

JL;DR SUMMARY Rabbi Shlomo Brody and Dr. Beth Popp explore the complexities of end-of-life considerations, focusing on the intersection of Jewish law and modern medical ethics. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
