Momentum Founding Director Lori Palatnik’s beautiful guide to life’s most painful moments, Remember My Soul, is now available as a free audio journey, exploring Jewish ideas of the soul, death, and the afterlife. It guides us through the traditions and rituals of shiva (the Jewish mourning period) and offers thirty days of guided exercises that comfort the mourner and – according to Jewish mystical tradition – the soul of the departed.
