Shalom Friends! is the audio home for deep dives on Jewish texts, lore, from Miriam Anzovin, creator of Daf Reactions and Jewish Lore Reactions. You'll hear big Jewish ideas mix it up with pop culture and current events, as ancient Jewish discourse is brought into conversation with modern internet culture, with commentary that’s heartfelt, comedic, and occasionally unhinged. All filtered through the perspective of a formerly Orthodox, now secular, millennial feminist and chronically online Jewish nerd with too many tabs open.

    Always Sacred, Never Secret: Honoring Jewish Death Rituals With Sarit Wishnevski
    Sep 22 2026

    Shalom friends!

    If you’ve seen #JewishLoreReactions, you may have noticed the character I appear as most often is Death.

    There’s a reason for that (other than personifications of Death are fascinating and cathartic to play.) In my life, I have been both mourner. But also I’ve served in a #chevrakadisha, a sacred community that comes together at the end of life to care for the deceased and comfort the living.

    These experiences have given me a profound appreciation for the beauty and power of Jewish end-of-life rituals and traditions, that I don’t think are talked about enough.

    So let’s talk about ‘em, with Sarit Wishnevski, Executive director of Kavod v'Nichum, an organization that empowers, educates, and trains Chevra Kadisha. Watch for an inside look at this always sacred, but never secret, society. #Judaism #jewishlearning #Mourning #Death #Grief #Shiva #Tahara
