CHEVRA KADISHA


  "Death is the test of the meaning of life. If death is devoid of meaning, then life is absurd..."  - Rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel


In case of emergency, call central hotline (505)-395-6627


Our Chevra Kadisha depends solely on volunteers, and are always ready to welcome those who would like to participate. We would be happy to talk with you about:

  • Helping in performing a Taharah
  • Being a shomer
  • Helping with educational programs
  • Managing our website or other communications
  • ​Helping with other activities within our Chevrah Kadisha


Arranging a Taharah  

The process for preparing the deceased for burial is called Taharah, or purification. ​​If you need a Taharah, please contact the Chevra Kadisha of Northern New Mexico central hotline (505)-395-6627, or the organization in the list to the right that is appropriate for your family.
