We would love to share this ritual with your community.

Do you believe that your community would benefit from learning more about the mitzvah of tahara? A member of our Hevra Kadisha would love to visit your synagogue, community center, retirement community, healthcare facility, or group to share a presentation and facilitate conversation about the sacred ritual of tahara.

Email CommunityHevraRI@gmail.com to set up an educational program.
