Chevra Kadisha Version2
Congregation Ahavath Sholom Guide for Jewish Burial and Mourning Edited by Rabbi Andrew Bloom The first steps to take when a loved one dies are to call your Rabbi and to call a funeral home. Contacting your family Rabbi before finalizing any burial plans is very important. Aside from aiding you with adhering to Conservative Jewish law, your Rabbi has experience with bereaved families and can discuss with you final wishes of the departed, and other special situations that you may have to consider in planning a funeral, burial, and mourning observance. Your Rabbi’s input will make the decisions you need to face easier and the entire process far less daunting. The passing of a loved one can be a very stressful and traumatic time. You should not try to go through this alone. It is our responsibility as part of the Jewish community to help you through this time in your life. So, contact Congregation Ahavath Sholom as soon as you can. We consider this to be a Rabbinic Emergency. Do not hesitate to call, be it late at night, on the Sabbath, or during a Jewish holiday. There will always be someone for you to contact in case of death. During hours when the synagogue office is open, call Congregation Ahavath Sholom main number, 817- 731-4721 and you will be put through to Rabbi Andrew Bloom. When the office is closed call Congregation Ahavath Sholom main number, listen to the voice prompts, and dial the extension 105 for Rabbi Bloom There will be a message on how to contact the Rabbi, or whomever is covering for the Rabbi in his absence.

Chevra Kadisha
CHEVRA KADISHA “I am with you in times of distress.” --Psalms 91:15 Introduction Kehillat Shaarei Torah’s vision includes being a dynamic, inclusive, welcoming modern orthodox community that celebrates Jewish life. We also want to provide inspirational learning opportunities and meaningful participation in religious life. As part of that vision, we are forming a Chevra Kadisha, a Holy Society that cares for the dying, the dead, and the bereaved in our community. This booklet is part of that effort. In these pages, we hope to provide basic information about our community’s practices surrounding end-of-life, and how those reflect traditional Jewish values and practices. Our hope in these pages is to de-mystify the mysterious and often-unspoken-about experience of dying and mourning. We hope that doing so opens us all up to more questioning, more learning, and more support of each other in difficult times, just as we celebrate joyous times together. Note: this version is a draft, prepared as a team effort by the KST Chevra Kadisha working group. We welcome your input, questions, and suggestions. Please send them to [email protected] 1 Preplanning Preplanning funeral arrangements is a wise and economical endeavour. It will save family members anguishing over choices at the time of loss, and may in most instances result in savings over time. Meeting with a representative of the funeral home can be done at any time. The Rabbi can provide the current list of services offered and prices, and you can decide and make appropriate arrangements with the funeral directors.

A Conservative Guide for Jewish Burial and Mourning
A Conservative Guide for Jewish Burial and Mourning Temple Emanuel of the Pascack Valley 87 Overlook Drive Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey 07677 201-391-0801 Shalom Chaverim, “Chazak v’amatz-May you be strong and of good courage”. These are the words that Moses spoke to Joshua as Moses neared death. Moses was aware that death and mourning, endings and beginnings, require strength and fortitude. And so, over three thousand years later, I say to you “Chazak v’amatz,-May you be strong and of good courage”. Whether you are reading this booklet as a one loved one is nearing death or simply because you are interested in Jewish traditions, may you be granted strength. In our death denying society, death and mourning is a subject most people would rather avoid. You have chosen to address this difficult yet important topic head on and for that you should be strengthened. Please note that this booklet is our congregation’s attempt to offer you a brief overview of death and mourning practices in Jewish tradition. We hope that it gives you the critical information you require in your time of need. For a more detailed description of Jewish laws and customs surrounding death and mourning, please feel free to contact me. Also, I encourage you to consult the books and websites at the end of this booklet for more detailed information. Finally, this booklet, produced entirely by a congregational volunteer, is a wonderful example of what kehilla means. When we see a community need and act on it; that is kehilla.

Amen. 45 FOR A FRIEND OR RELATIVE Mayest thou rest in peace, dear friend! Death has severed the tie that united us in this life, to be renewed everlastingly in a happier world whither I shall one day follow thee. Now, faithful to thy memory, I implore G‐d to grant repose unto thy soul; and to vouchsafe to me the grace of a reunion when His holy will shall call me hence. My G‐d! permit that the soul of him (her) for whom I mourn, freed from earth’s painful struggles, dangers and difficulties, and purified through Thy mercy, may share the joys of the blessed in eternity. Amen. 44 AT A BROTHER’S OR SISTER’S GRAVE May peace be thine, dear friend of my youth! What gentle memories and bitter regrets cluster around this tomb.

Reconstructionist Tahara Handbook for Women and Men
Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation Bethesda, Maryland 2005 Adat Shalom Chevra Kadisha Reconstructionist Tahara Handbook for Women and Men This booklet contains the service and instructions for performing tahara. It is one suggested liturgy, assembled by members of Adat Shalom Reconstructionist Congregation, rooted in tradition but revised in light of Reconstructionist principles. Introduction “Just as a newborn child is immediately washed and enters this world clean and pure, so [one] who departs this world must be cleansed and made pure through the religious ritual calledtaharah. In addition to the physical cleansing and preparation of the body for burial, theChevrah Kadishah recites required prayers asking Almighty God for forgiveness for any sins the deceased may have committed and praying that the All•Merciful may guard the deceased and grant him or her eternal peace.” • Maurice Lamm, The Jewish Way in Death and Mourning (1969) “The highest act of gemilut chesed [acts of loving kindness] is that which is done for the dead, for there can never by any question of repayment.” • Tanhuma Vayehi 107A Glossary Aron Coffin, casket. Chevra Kadisha Burial Society (literally, holy society). K’vod Hamet/ Respect for the dead (male/female). K’vod Hametah Met/Metah The deceased, also, the dead body. Mechilah Forgiveness, the forgiveness asked by thechevra kadisha for having disturbed themet. Tachrichim Shrouds: “All Jews are buried in the same type of garment . Nineteen hundred years ago, Rabbi Gamaliel instituted this practice so that the poor would not be shamed and the wealthy would not vie with each other in displaying the costliness of their burial clothes.” (Lamm, The Jewish Way in Death and Mourning) Tahara Purification, specifically, the ritual pouring of water before dressing the met for burial.

Jewish Mourning Traditions
JEWISH MOURNING TRADITIONS Shmira / The Vigil (From Chevra Kadisha) When a person dies, the soul or neshama hovers around the body. This neshama is the essence of the person, the consciousness and totality, the thoughts, deeds, experiences and relationships. The body was its container and the neshama, now on the way to the Eternal World, refuses to leave until the body is buried. In effect, the totality of the person who died continues to exist for a while in the vicinity of the body. Jewish mourning ritual is therefore most concerned with the feelings of the deceased, not only the feelings of the mourners. How we treat the body and how we behave around the body must reflect how we would act around the very person himself. IMMEDIATELY AFTER DEATH Jacob is promised that when he dies, “Joseph’s hand shall close your eyes.” (Genesis 46:4). The 16th century “Code of Jewish Law” dictated that the eyes should be closed, arms and hands extended and brought close to the body and the lower jaw closed and bound. The body was placed on the floor, with the feet towards the door. The body was covered with a sheet and a lit candle placed near the head. The Midrash states that on Shabbat one does not close the eyes, bind the jaw or light a candle. Some Jewish communities would place potsherds on the eyes; Russians placed coins. Ancient superstitions in many cultures held that if the eyes were opened, the ghost of the deceased would return to fetch away another of the household.
