What Happens After Death in Judaism? The Soul, Afterlife, and Grief

What happens after death in Judaism?

Adrienne explores the Jewish perspectives on the afterlife, the soul, and mourning, and how these ideas shape how we respond to loss. Drawing on personal experience, she reflects on why words often feel inadequate in grief and why presence can matter more than explanations.

Through a well-known Jewish parable and classic sources, this episode offers insight into how life prepares us for what comes next, and how we can better support others through loss.
