At Shaare Emeth\, Selichot provides an opportunity to reflect on the themes of the High Holidays through a screening of the film “Dying Doesn’t Feel Like What I’m Doing”\, a thoughtful discussion\, and a moving service. During the service\, our 6th- and 7th-grade Religious School students help change our Torah covers to white\, our High Holiday Choir deepens the meaning and beauty of our music\, and we end in quiet candlelight. We invite you to join us for all or part of this profound evening. \n\n\n\nDying Doesn’t Feel Like What I’m Doing is a powerful film documenting the life and death of Rabbi Rachel Cowan. Rabbi Cowan lived her life and faced her death with an unwavering commitment to gratitude and justice\, honesty\, and wisdom. She offers us a life-affirming and joyful model for the practice of cheshbon hanefesh\, the accounting of our souls\, that we are all called to make during these holy days. \n\n\n\nRegistration Appreciated \n\n\n\nAbout the Film: \n\n\n\nRabbi Rachel Cowan\, a beloved and influential mindfulness teacher\, is diagnosed with aggressive cancer. She uses her spiritual practice to navigate her death while looking back on her full life. She was a civil rights activist who taught people how to ”sit” with themselves and stand up for others. The first female convert to become a rabbi\, she and her late husband\, Village Voice writer Paul Cowan\, were instrumental in encouraging support of intermarried couples. Widowed at 48\, she had a powerful second act. As the first director of Jewish Life at the Nathan Cummings Foundation\, she transformed Jewish philanthropy. As a founder of the Jewish Healing Network\, The  Institute of Jewish Spirituality\, and The Wise Aging movement\, she transformed Jewish life by bringing mindfulness and meditation into the mainstream. After she was diagnosed with aggressive brain cancer\, she used her terminal illness to teach others how to die well.

Through personalized support and lifesaving education\, this program has improved the lives of women and families with\, or at increased genetic risk\, for breast or ovarian cancer. \n\n\n\nInspired by the success of this program\, the J spun off and launched the Hamsa Wellness Community in 2023. This expansion has allowed for the continuation of our current activities while broadening our restoration programming to address a wider range of cancers impacting both women and men. We are proud of our free psychosocial support for those facing a cancer diagnosis\, at risk of developing a hereditary cancer\, and even those who have already rung the bell yet continue to face lasting physical and emotional effects. \n\n\n\nLynne Isaacs Palan (Lynnie) was a pioneer and leader of both Nishmah: The St. Louis Jewish Women’s Project and Sharsheret Supports STL. Through her passionate volunteerism and professional work in these organizations and many others\, she was dedicated to building vibrant communities and changing lives\, especially for individuals living with\, or at increased genetic risk of developing cancer. Lynnie lost her battle to breast cancer on April 10\, 2018\, leaving a legacy of philanthropy among her family\, friends\, and the entire St. Louis community. Lynnie’s passion and drive will forever remain the legacy of The Hamsa Wellness Community and Nishmah. \n\n\n\nQuestions? Contact Chelsea Leon at cleon@jccstl.org.
