End of Life

Jewish perspective on Death and Mourning

Ha’makom yenahem etkhem betokh she’ar avelei Tziyonvi’Yerushalayim
May God console you among the other mourners of Zion and Jerusalem

As individuals and as families, within a supportive congregation:

  • We mourn
  • We reaffirm the sweetness of life
  • And we remember

Jewish funeral and mourning rituals provide structure and mooring during a time when we may feel lost and at sea. Rabbi Valerie is knowledgeable and compassionate. She is able to support and guide you through each step of the process.  Please contact rabbi at rabbivaleriecohen@gmail.com if you require any assistance.
