In honor of Zayin Adar, Or Zarua will be having a dinner, followed by a screening of “The Sacred Society”, a haunting, sand-animated documentary about Chevra Kadisha. Through intimate storytelling and ritual, the film explores why people choose this sacred work and how it shapes their understanding of care, dignity, and community at the end of life.
The screening is being organized by Kavod v’Nichum, an organization dedicated to empowering, educating, and training Chevra Kadisha. We will join a live conversation between Kavod v’Nichum and filmmaker Benny Zelkowicz (over Zoom) following the screening with time for audience Q&A.
No charge for members, non-members $36. Donations to the OZ Hevra Kadisha are strongly encouraged. Register and donate at https://orzarua.shulcloud.com/form/ZayinAdar
