Jewish Funeral Traditions (Part 2) on The Doyenne of Death® Podcast

https://agoodgoodbye.com/podcasts/jewish-funeral-traditions-on-the-doyenne-of-death-podcast/
Although Jewish funeral traditions are thousands of years old, many Jews today are unfamiliar with those rites. David Zinner, founder and past executive director of Kavod v’Nichum (Honor and Comfort), discusses these traditions with @GailRubin, host of The Doyenne of Death® Podcast.

Topics discussed during the show include:

* The differences between Jewish and Christian funeral traditions;
* What are the Chevrah Kaddisha, shmira and tahara;
* Elements of the ceremony of washing and dressing of the dead;
* How Jewish burial is naturally green burial;
* Jewish traditions around dying, death, funerals, burials, cemeteries, grief and mourning.

Kavod v’Nichum (Honor and Comfort) is a nonprofit organization that works to restore Jewish death and bereavement practices, including the traditions and values of kavod hamet (honoring the dead) and nichum avelim (comforting the bereaved). Zinner was also the founder and Executive Director of the Gamliel Institute, a center for leadership training and advocacy of traditional Jewish practice in the continuum of care at the end of life.
