Description

This weeks guest is Rabbi Steve Leder. Steve is the senior rabbi of Wilshire Boulevard Temple and author of five books! His most recent book, For You When I Am Gone, was my summer read on holiday this year. I could NOT put it down, and you’re about to find out why in this episode.Steve’s latest book tackles one of the most requested topics from the last book: writing an ethical will, or a meaningful letter about your life. (Are you now thinking what on earth is an ethical will? Keep put!) He shares 12 questions in this book and prompts to help readers explore their values, beliefs, hopes, and dreams, and includes examples of ethical wills from a broad range of voices and faiths – old and young, with and without children, famous and unknown – as well as his own. It is Filled with ancient wisdom and wit., For You When I Am Gone is a moving, hopeful, and inspiring book that will encourage us to think about the legacy we leave behind.Whether you follow a faith or religion or not, I think this episode can appeal to all. Writing or thinking about an ethical will is not subjective to following faith. It’s drilled into us that we should have our ducks in a row for when we die….who gets the house? Who gets this piece of jewellery? How much money goes to this person?...but at the end of the day, these things are all just…things. What do we really want to leave behind for those we love?...and also, what do you think your person might have written in their ethical will if they had the chance to write one?!I’ve got you thinking now haven’t i? Get your pen and paper at the ready…You can find and connect with Steve on instagram by searching steve_leder.
