Have you had a family member or friend that has needed hospice services? Hospice is an intense experience and an opportunity to reflect, or review, life experiences. 

In this episode, I am joined by the amazing Benjamin Kintisch. Benjamin is a Cantor, a chaplain, and a music teacher, in addition to his involvement with theater and songwriting. “Life Review” is the first musical he has created which displays a unique perspective on the hospice experience. Benjamin has loved singing and performing on stage since his youth.  He graduated from Brown University, with a concentration in Judaic Studies and completed his graduate studies at Jewish Theological Seminary including a Masters in Sacred Music along with a Cantorial degree. Benjamin recently completed his fourth year of chaplaincy training, having served in several hospice and eldercare facilities. 

Tune in to learn about Benjamin’s experience speaking with patients in hospice, the mission behind Life Review the musical, and even hear Benjamin’s incredible singing!
