About: 

At this Community Meetup, we’ll be joined by Reva Judas, founder and Executive Director of NechamaComfort, a global organization that supports families and Jewish communities through the grief of miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss. Reva brings deep compassion and decades of experience to this work, rooted in both personal story and years of accompanying others through heartbreak.

This meetup will be an opportunity to gently open up conversation around a kind of loss that’s often hidden, and to explore how Chevra Kadisha members can show up with care, presence, and sensitivity. Reva will share what she’s learned from walking with families through unimaginable pain, and help us think about how we, as individuals and as sacred communities, can hold space for this kind of grief.

Reva’s bio: The concept of NechamaComfort began after the tragic loss of Reva’s first born baby, Pesach. Reva’s mission is that no one should ever feel alone when experiencing pregnancy and infant loss. Reva has her BS in Human and Child Development, chaplaincy certification from Hackensack Medical Center and Pregnancy Infant Loss facilitator certification from the RTS Program.

A four-part online class for anyone curious about how Jewish communities care for one another at the end of life.

Whether you’re new to this work or just beginning to explore, this course offers a welcoming introduction to the Chevra Kadisha — the sacred practice of tending to the dead and comforting the living.

You’ll learn about Jewish rituals like taharah and shmirah, explore the values that guide this work, and connect with others drawn to this deeply meaningful tradition.
