Show Notes
On The Good Place, the Judge weighs Michael’s arguments that the experiment has proved successful, and while they wait for the verdict, our humans and Janet hold a series of as-if funerals for each other. On the podcast, Sari Laufer and Jon Spira-Savett talk about their own experiences as rabbis who officiate at funerals, and entertain various intriguing variations suggested by the episode. Why wait until the end of life? Why have only one? Why not get out of the chapel and take it on the road, back to someplace you once lived? (There’s that idea of teshuvah popping up again, from yet another angle!) Click here for show notes.
