Community Liaisons Lee Cohen and Ellen Suls MacDonald were proud to represent Northern Virginia Jewish Funerals at the annual Zayin Adar dinner at Kemp Mill Synagogue.

Zayin Adar honors the sacred work of the chevra kadisha, whose members prepare individuals for Jewish burial with dignity, reverence, and care, a true chesed shel emet. We are honored to support this holy work and grateful for the dedicated staff who volunteer their time in service to our community.
