Hevra Kadisha as Living Practice: Values, Leadership, and Shared Responsibility

Wednesday, February 25; 3:00 pm ET / 12:00 pm PT

Chevra Kadisha is often understood as quiet, behind-the-scenes work, yet its impact on Jewish communal life is profound. Led by Sarit Wishnevski, Executive Director of Kavod v'Nichum, we’ll explore Chevra Kadisha as a living, evolving practice rooted in enduring Jewish values, one that shapes the living as much as it honors the dead. Whether your community is nurturing an established group or considering starting one, we’ll offer practical frameworks, leadership strategies, and adaptable resources that rabbis can use to launch, strengthen, and sustain Chevra Kadisha as a vital, values-driven pillar of communal life.
