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.
