December 2, 2012 - Charles will be speaking at the TALKABOUT Seminar.

TALKABOUT is an interactive event which will explore liberal Jewish responses to issues of aging. It is open to the broader Jewish community.

The event will feature three experts in the fields of Canadian law, medicine, and liberal, progressive halachah (Jewish law), who will come together for a panel discussion, followed by mini-workshops. These key areas overlap and inform each other when a variety of decisions need to be made.

Participants will be able to attend two of the three mini-workshops. Pre-registration to secure a space is required. A binder of materials will be provided to all TALKABOUT registrants.

Registration: $40 (members of Congregation Darchei Noam, Temple Har Zion and Beit Rayim Synagogue and their families) - $60 (general public)
