What does it look like to treat those who die with dignity? How can Jewish leaders mourn for and alongside their communities while maintaining the sacred mantle of leadership? In this week’s episode, we were blessed to learn with and from Cantor Yugend-Green, the current Cantor of Oak Park Temple (a special place for Executive Producer, Edon Valdman!). We look at the role of the Chevra Kadisha, the special Jewish burial laws and practices, and what it means to maintain silence (or even what NOT to say) in the face of great adversity.

Chevra Kadisha: a burial society, literally “holy friend,” who prepare the deceased for burial

Rosh: the head of the ritural
M'chilah: a prayer asking for forgiveness (for inadvertent indignity caused by taharah)
