*A Chevra Kadisha (“holy society”) is a group of community volunteers who prepare bodies for burial by ritually washing it, dressing it in a traditional plain white garment, and keeping watch over it from the moment of death until burial. This ritual practice dates back centuries, but until recently has rarely been emphasized in more progressive Jewish communities.
