From Chevra Kadisha Kavod
Understanding Jewish Death Practices is a JADE webinar presented by Rick Light, one of JADE’s senior curriculum developers. This webinar is designed for anyone who is interested in learning more about Jewish death practices: Jews and those who love them as well as professionals that might be in the role of supporting Jewish families at the end of life. Many people in the Jewish community from the novice to the learned will benefit from this educational event - come one, come all!
This webinar is the first in a series that will cover topics covered in JADE's Hineni Tool. You might have been invited to a shiva in the past, heard that it might be inappropriate to bring flowers to a Jewish funeral, or that you can't be buried in a Jewish cemetery if you have tattoos, or just be wondering how to separate fact from fiction.

From the national Jewish community
This year, as we’re honoring Jewish Book Month in the month before Hanukkah (November 24-December 24, 2024), let’s come together to celebrate Jewish books and support Jewish authors!
JQ created this survey to gather feedback from LGBTQ+ Jews and allies across North America. The hope is to walk away with more data about the needs and wants of the LGBTQ+ Jewish community, ensuring JQ and other Jewish organizations can meet people where they are.
Those who complete the survey, only 5-7 minutes, will be entered in a raffle to win a $100 Amazon gift card.
