Returning to Sacred Community
In Jewish tradition, caring for someone after death is called chesed shel emet—an act of true lovingkindness given with no expectation of return.
Join JADE, Community Chevra Kadisha of Denver, and HOD (Honoring Our Dead) for an introduction to the sacred traditions of Jewish after-death care. Together, we will explore the history, rituals, and values, and reflect on how these practices invite us into deeper connection, dignity, and community.
No prior knowledge is needed. All are welcome.
Please feel free to bring a friend and forward this registration page to them so that we can get an accurate headcount. Coming with someone you know helps build connection from the start.
If you have a request for any ADA or other accommodations, please let us know in advance.
If you did not sign up but would like to get involved, please reach out to [email protected]. We welcome donations to support this sacred work.
