Rachel Cowan was a civil rights activist, community organizer, the first female Jew by choice ordained as a Rabbi, a beloved and influential mindfulness teacher, a grandmother and wise elder. And then she was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer. Living each day fully, she turned dying into an opportunity to experience gratitude.

Q&A with director Paula Weiman-Kelman to follow screening.

Filmmaker Bio:
Paula Weiman-Kelman is veteran documentary filmmaker known for moving portraits of inspiring women. Her first film Rites of Passage was a portrait of the feisty Israeli feminist icon and peace activist Alice Shalvi. Twenty years later she revisited her subject in The Re-annotated Alice. Dying Doesn’t Feel Like What I’m Doing, celebrates the life of Rachel Cowan – a beloved rabbi and influential mindfulness teacher who passed away last year.
