Death and Mourning

If you or a loved one are nearing the end of your life, please know that SPS and its clergy are here for you. There are traditions that are common as a person approaches death which Rabbi Ain can discuss with you if you would like. Many people choose to pre-plan funeral arrangements with a Jewish funeral home for burial in a Jewish cemetery. Rabbi Ain works most closely with Riverside Memorial Chapel and Plaza Jewish Community Chapel. If someone you loved has passed away, please make sure you call (212-593-3300) or email Rabbi Rachel Ain at rabbiain@spsnyc.org immediately to help work out funeral and shiva arrangements.
