The Holy Society
By: Schvach Yid

In Hebrew, it’s Chevra Kadisha; the communal Jewish group or organization that provides for the dead. This is yet another reason I’m proud of Judaism.

Devorah Leah Mishulovin has posted an article with the current edition of Chabad’s on-line magazine at:
http://www.chabad.org/library/article_cdo/aid/618408/jewish/Handle-With-Care.htm

The site includes a list of links to related articles about Judaism’s care for, and treatment of, our dead, as well as links to library resources on this subject.

EKS Publishing Company has two brief publications on death and mourning in Judaism and the work of the Chevra Kadisha, which can be found on-line at:
