Kavod

Stage: Active Aging activities in place

Kavod v’Nichum empowers, educates, and trains Chevra Kadisha – sacred communities that come together at the end of life to care for the deceased and comfort the living through Jewish rituals and traditions.

Sixty percent of Chevra Kadisha volunteers in the United States and Canada are over 60. Many describe their involvement in Chevra Kadisha as the most fulfilling part of their Jewish communal lives. Kavod v'Nichum believes that a thriving Chevra Kadisha is essential for every Jewish community as it not only helps guide us to show up and provide deep care for one another but also offers impactful and meaningful ways to engage and live out our Jewish values.
