In Jewish tradition\, there is a parallel\, sacred duty of protection and care that takes place at the very end of life. \nThis presentation\, by OZ Board President Lynda Siegel\, offers a gentle and informative introduction to the Chevra Kadisha (Sacred Society) and the ritual of Tahara—the traditional process of washing and purifying a body for burial. Often called Chesed Shel Emet (True Kindness)\, this is considered the highest form of mitzvah because it is a favor that can never be returned. \nWe will discuss how this ancient practice honors the soul and ensures that no member of our community ever takes their final journey alone. Key topics include: \n\nThe Essence of Kavod HaMet: Understanding the core Jewish value of “honoring the deceased” with dignity and modesty.\nA Journey of Purity: A respectful overview of the prayers\, the ritual washing\, and the dressing of the body in Tachrichim (simple white linen shrouds).\nCommunity and Continuity: How this quiet\, volunteer-led tradition strengthens the bonds of our synagogue and provides comfort to grieving families.\nJoin us to learn more about the beautiful\, hidden rituals that reflect our deepest Jewish values of equality\, respect\, and eternal care.\n\nREGISTER HERE \n\nChaiLights gatherings will give you a chance to learn\, taste and connect. \nEach gathering will start off with food and open conversation\, followed by a unique experience that will engage and inspire\, let us create and improve the world. \nThis project’s vibe is fun\, social and low-pressure\, with activities lead by community volunteers.
