Your Kindness Will Last Forever

Helping a Jew receive a respectful burial is the ultimate selfless act. It’s known as ‘chesed shel emes’, a true loving-kindness. That’s because unlike any other good deed, this favor can never be returned. Instead, you earn eternal merit.

Every day, 82 deceased Jews are turned to ashes in American crematoria. Many of them never had the opportunity to explore the practical wisdom of Jewish burial traditions.
You can help us reach them in time.

The Jewish Burial Legacy Project

Were you leaning towards or planning on cremation and then changed your plan to burial? Are you a family member of someone who changed their mind?
If yes, we would love the opportunity to speak with you.

Here are some of the things we can do for you:

  • Discuss the Jewish approach to caring for the deceased
  • Assist you in arranging a Jewish burial
  • Answer questions about mourning, kaddish, or any aspect of Jewish law or tradition
  • Help you fill out your ‘Expression of Wishes’ document
  • Provide personal guidance for discussing after-life care with a loved one
Of course, if you have a different question or concern, we will always do our best to guide.
