Dying to live or living to die? A testimony of Tim Leary and Rabbi Menahem Froman on the deathbed.

Moshe David HaCohen / Sweden

Language: English

Session:
Since the spiritual awakening of the hippie counterculture of the sixties, our relation to death has become a focal theme. The publication of the Tibetan Book of the Dead, as well as discussion by Jewish Renewal leaders such as Reb Zalman Shacter Shalomi and Reb Shlomo Carlebach and contemporary Rabbi Menaham Froman in Israel propose a relation to death as a sacred experience rather than a primal human fear.
