Kavod v'Nichum Honor and Comfort provides assistance, training and identifies resources about Jewish death and bereavement practice for Chevra Kadisha groups and bereavement committees in synagogues and communities throughout the U.S. and Canada. |
The Gamliel Institute educates and trains a corps of leaders who have a strong interest in creating a holistic “continuum of care” for their local communities. Based on over 2,000 years of texts and traditions, the program is a unique blend of Jewish communal obligation, care for the poor and elderly, consumer protection, Jewish continuity and spiritual inspiration. The Institute will offer both a certificate program and individual courses that cover life’s spectrum of illness and comfort, death, funerals, burial and mourning, including the Chevra Kadisha (holy society); tahara and shmira (ritual washing and guarding); traditional Jewish practices around death; funeral homes and cemeteries; nechama (comfort); and strategies for communal education and training. Applications are being accepted. |
