Support needed for chevra kadisha study

In Spring of 2015, Robin Black hopes to embark on the Gamliel Institute's capstone course -- Chevra Kadisha: International Perspectives.

The class is open only to those students who have completed the first five courses, and the main element of the capstone class is the opportunity for hands-on study in New York, Prague, and Israel. After completing this course, Robin will be "positioned to evaluate any community’s unique challenges and work with those communities and their chevra kaddisha groups to find solutions that are the best for them."

In order to make this happen, Robin must raise $5,000 to pay for airfare, accommodations, and meals. She is hoping for donations of $15 or more to help her cover these costs. All donations are tax deductible and should be made to the Gamliel Institute in honor of Robin Black.

For more information about donating, please e-mail Robin Black. To read more about the program and course, click here.
