It's not unusual for older people to have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah. Rabbi Jonathan Romain tells us why it's a growing trend.

A Bar or Bat Mitzvah ceremony traditionally marks a Jewish child's coming of age. However it's not unusual for older people to have a Bar or Bat Mitzvah; second time around or maybe for the first time. Rabbi Jonathan Romain tells us why it's a growing trend.

And talking about dying and death isn't something many of us are comfortable with. Kathryn Mannix is a palliative care specialist who says it's time to reclaim public understanding of dying. She joins Jason and Kate to discuss her book, 'With the End in Mind', as they explore the biggest taboo in our society.
