Chevra Kadisha

Joining the Chevra Kadisha, Holy Society, helping with the great mitzvot of taking care of our members on their final journey when they die. The Chevra Kadisha is a group of Jewish people who care for the deceased to prepare them for burial, involving taharah, the ritual washing and dressing of the deceased person. This is a very personal and sensitive role and we are looking for a small team of volunteers, both men and women, to be trained in this special duty, which is normally undertaken at Calos the undertakers in Edgware.
