Did You Know?

When visiting a cemetery, Jewish tradition teaches something deeply meaningful… that is, one should refrain from stepping on or over a grave.

Why? Because every gravesite holds the remains of someone who once carried a Neshama (soul). Stepping over that sacred space is seen as disrespectful not just to the body, but to the soul that once gave it life. Instead , we walk around graves, taking care to avoid crossing over them.

This simple act reflects one of the most beautiful values in Judaism… the profound reverence for life, even after it has ended.

Every Neshama (soul) matters. Forever.

Feel free to reach out with any questions about Jewish burial or end of life care. (954) 744-3432

“Jews with tattoos can’t be buried in a Jewish cemetery.”

Youve probably heard that one before… but it’s simply not true!.

Jewish law does discourage getting tattoos, but it does not bar anyone from a Jewish burial. Every Jew, regardless of personal choices, is entitled to a dignified burial according to Jewish tradition.

🕯️ Yom HaShoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day 🕯️

Today, on Yom HaShoah, we pause to honor the memory of the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust, and to pay tribute to the survivors whose resilience and strength continue to inspire us.

At Neshama Jewish Funeral Services, we believe it is our sacred duty to remember, to educate, and to ensure that the stories of those who lived through the Shoah are never forgotten.

We invite you to watch a powerful video we’ve shared today—featuring the firsthand testimony of Holocaust survivor 'Chef Meir Rapaport'. His story is a testament to the endurance of the human spirit and the importance of bearing witness.

📽️ Watch the video here: https://youtu.be/r0YtysiPNs0?si=sRTUbCW9aBnQ2A94

May the memories of those we’ve lost forever be a blessing.

TZEDAKAH TATZIL MIMAVAS- CHARITY SAVES ONE FROM DEATH

https://give.theneshamafoundation.org/campaign/623258/donate

Tzedakah is unique. We say on Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, “מי בקצו ומי לו בקיצו – Who will die in their appointed time and who before their appointed time.” When it comes to someone’s time, there is little that one can do to extend their divinely allotted ration of life. But Tzedakah can accomplish even this, for the Gemara in Bava Basra informs us that there was a righteous philanthropist (Binyomin Hatzadik) whose life was extended many years because of his many charitable activities.

On Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur, our annual livelihood is also determined. And, there is no better way to increase the bounty that we receive from Hashem than with the giving of Tzedakah. As the pasuk testifies, “כי בגלל הדבר הזה יברכך ה׳ אלקיך בכל מעשך – For because of this thing (tzedakah), Hashem will bless all of your handiwork.”

Let’s face it. It is not easy to give away our money. We work very hard for it and we have so many things that we want to do with it. May Hashem give us the strength and desire to share our largesse with those who are less fortunate and in that merit may Hashem bless us with a New Year of long life, good health, and everything wonderful.

Have an easy and meaningful fast!

About a year ago, we were continuing to live on a high, as our spirits were up and the Jewish existence was relatively untainted. Came Simchas Torah, a highlight on the Jewish calendar, and everything changed. Out of nowhere, terror wreaked havoc taking the precious lives of so many, torturing innocent civilians, and taking many more hostage. The horrors that were witnessed on that day are still ringing in our minds, as they embossed a disgusting image of suffering and destruction. Although we speak of it as a past atrocity, we are still suffering today from the effects of the attack. Hostages are still suffering in Gaza, many families have been torn, lives have been lost, and a war is taking place at this very moment! The pain of October 7th is still fresh and ongoing; it hasn't been forgotten or neglected. Our hearts must and DO go out for all those directly affected, and they are certainly pained by what we've seen and heard. The memories of the deceased will live on, and the hope and prayer for the return of the hostages will not cease.

BRING THEM HOME NOW!

23 Years Ago, Today:

On this day, 23 years ago, our nation was forever changed by a tragic event that claimed the lives of countless innocent people. We take a moment to remember those we have lost and to reflect on the efforts of the first responders who selflessly put themselves in harm's way to save others.
May their memory be a blessing!
