Rabbi Paula Marcus

The synagogue provides guidance and spiritual support through its chevra kadisha Committee (burial society). When a loved one dies, clergy counsel the family to determine the most meaningful form of observance.

If the family chooses tahara (ritual purification), members of the chevra kadisha perform the cleansing and dressing of the body.
