This manual is a guide for those who perform the holy ritual of Tahara, preparation of Jewish deceased for burial. Originally written for the Chevra Kadisha of Northern New Mexico, a chevra that includes six shuls that differ extensively in their levels of observance, this manual is intended for use by any community. It is for all Jews. This 5th Edition is specially formatted for ease of use in the Tahara room as well as for education and teaching. Music has long been known to enhance the beauty and kavanah of the ritual. This edition is unique in that it includes the musical Hebrew chanting notations of Rabbi Shefa Gold. This book is an essential resource to those who help midwife souls from this world to the next.
