The Nechamah Minyan meets nightly at 9 pm Eastern (6 pm Pacific), every day except Friday, providing nechamah (comfort) beyond time and space. Serving to connect people across denominational lines; people who need a place to pray; to heal; to grieve; to experiment with different forms and modalities of prayer; the Nechamah Minyan is a container for the end of the day and to say kaddish.
It has helped attendees relax into the night, soothe sleepless souls, and connect with one another. It is different every night—depending on who is leading—so come a few times to get an array of musical, liturgical, meditative, and poetic styles.
The Nechamah Minyan was started in January 2021 by Reb Geela Rayzel Raphael as a place to say kaddish (Jewish prayer for the dead) for her mom, Natalie Robinson, (Nechama Leah bat Elke v’Chayim).

From My Jewish Learning:
Jewish tradition teaches us that caring for the dead is one of the greatest mitzvahs (good deeds) of all. It is known as chesed shel emet, which translates to the truest act of kindness. Rooted in the biblical tradition, Jewish custom is to bury the dead as quickly as possible. When a loved one dies, plans must be made quickly for the funeral and burial.
This fast pace from death to burial doesn’t leave much time to plan. Learning about Jewish funeral planning, burial and mourning practices in advance can help make a painful time less confusing.
This free 8-part course will help you through it all. Register Here: https://my-jewish-learning.teachable.com/p/jewish-funeral-practices-your-helping-hand-through-a-challenging-time
