Death is an uncomfortable subject for many people. The way we die is one of the most important conversations Americans are not having. But during the last five years, a movement to break the silence has been growing.

The Jewish Community Center of the East Bay held its first Death Over Dinner last November in Berkeley, with 14 invited guests.
