Rooted in Tradition. Growing a Future of Care.
A thriving future begins with how we show up.
For 25 years, Kavod v’Nichum has nurtured a movement of compassion, dignity, and connection. Now, we’re dreaming bigger: a world where every thriving Jewish community has a Chevra Kadisha – a circle of care that brings people together, carries us through life’s most vulnerable moments, and strengthens our bonds with one another.
Your support helps us make this vision real.
Why Sustainers of Chesed Matter
Jewish end-of-life care is both ancient and urgently needed today. Too many communities lack the resources, knowledge, or confidence to uphold these rituals and connections. That’s where we come in.
By joining the Sustainers of Chesed, you become part of a movement ensuring that no one faces death, grief, or loss alone. Your monthly gift allows us to plan boldly, grow sustainably, and bring training, mentorship, and resources to more communities than ever before.
What Your Gift Makes Possible
Your sustaining support directly funds:
- Training and mentorship for Chevra Kadisha leaders across North America
- Expanding access to educational programs for volunteers and communities
- Scholarships, so cost is never a barrier to participation in our events and education programs
- Guidance for communities starting or rebuilding their Chevra Kadisha
- Building a growing network of Jewish leaders, educators, and volunteers committed to sacred care
