Are you comfortable with mortality and do you have an awe for the mysteries of life and death?

CBH is forming our own Hevra Kadisha, a sacred community committed to the hallowed and intimate responsibilities of taking care of the deceased.  All congregants are invited to participate in our initial training. We will show you a live demonstration simulating the Tahara ritual, the washing of the deceased body using a mannequin .  This mitzvah is one of the holiest acts because it cannot be returned by the recipient.  Dating back to antiquity, Tahara provides comfort for the soul and care for the body.  While facing death may bring up many emotions and responses, it can also be deeply enriching and nurture our sacred connections with one another.
