The Tzava’a—A Priceless Gift Which Costs Nothing
Many educated Jews don’t know a thing about the magnificent Jewish custom of writing an ethical will. The tzava’a is a compelling Jewish tradition which encourages us to write a final letter to our loved ones instructing them in family history, values and ethical behavior. Preparing a tzava’a helps us to define ourselves– to take time to think about what is truly important to us and what lasting messages we want to convey to people we care about. You will learn how to write an Ethical Will and also an Iggeret, a document with similar purpose that is meant to be presented while the writer is alive, often at lifecycle events.
