Allegra Caravida is a rabbi who, after a sabbatical to Japan, was inspired to adapt traditional Jewish practices to fit our new deathless world. She pioneered the concept of a Living Shiva, a kind of funeral rite to mark -- not a death -- but a passage into a new stage of life.

We talk about her nomadic childhood, sabbatical to Japan, and thinking of death as a universal dis-integration.

(***Allegra Caravida is portrayed by NB Mager)
