FOR YOU WHEN I AM GONE: A JOURNAL

A beautiful keepsake journal inspired by For You When I Am Gone to help you create your own ethical will.

In For You When I Am Gone, Rabbi Steve Leder taught us how to write an ethical will, a letter to our loved ones that helps them understand what we have learned about how to live a meaningful life.
Now, in this beautiful journal, Rabbi Leder provides prompts, exercises, and inspirational quotes to help us write our own ethical wills. As a helpful companion to the previous book or a complete stand-alone, this journal will show each of us how to create a lasting, meaningful legacy while enjoying the process of examining our lives.
