Congregation Netivot Shalom is a caring community, committed to providing both physical care and spiritual/emotional support for families experiencing loss. Please contact the synagogue office or Rabbi Levy for support you need or any questions you have. We are here for you. Rabbi Levy’s email is rabbi@netivotshalom.org.
Our Chevra Kaddisha is a place to turn for help planning both the traditional ritual burial and the journey of comfort for the surviving family. The members see to it that, when death occurs, preparation for burial and comfort for mourners are handled with love and respect. To reach our Chevra Kaddisha, please email chevrakadisha@netivotshalom.org.
If you’d like to honor the memory of your loved one on our Memorial Wall, you can find information on that here.
