Chesed Shel Emet: Guidelines for Taharah

The Second in our Chesed: Acts of Kindness series, this booklet details the ritual of preparing a body for burial. Compiled by Rabbi Stuart Kelman, this booklet reflects the work of the Chevra Kadisha (burial society) and includes specific procedures and prayers. Chesed Shel Emet will be a useful addition to any existing Chevra Kadisha, or to any community hoping to establish one.
