About this Event

Join Sinai Memorial Chapel and the Jewish Association for Death Education (JADE) for an evening conversation exploring the emerging role of psychedelics in end-of-life care and the grief that follows.

This thoughtful panel will bring together experts in spiritual care, psychotherapy, and end-of-life support to discuss current research, ethical considerations, and the ways psychedelic-assisted therapies may help individuals facing serious illness—as well as those navigating loss—find meaning, comfort, and peace.

As this is an evolving and complex area of study, this program is designed to create an open, respectful space for learning, reflection, and questions.

The conversation will be moderated by Liz Orlin, Executive Director of Sinai Memorial Chapel, and will feature:

  • Rabbi Zac Kamenetz, founder and CEO of Shefa
  • Zoë Francesca Goldblatt, Jewish Death Doula and Psychedelic Doula
  • Alissa Hirshfeld, MA, LMFT, psychotherapist specializing in grief, trauma, and ketamine-assisted therapy

The Co-Sponsors

Jewish Association for Death Education (JADE) is a nonprofit organization providing education, guidance, and support rooted in Jewish wisdom along the end-of-life continuum.

Sinai Memorial Chapel Chevra Kadisha provides compassionate death care services to the Jewish community, honoring tradition while embracing evolving practices and supporting individuals and families with dignity and care.
