Hebra Hased Va’Amet

Founded in 1802, Hebra Hased Va-Amet is the oldest active Jewish philanthropic organization in New York City. The Hebra provides dignified burials for indigent congregants and contributes to the maintenance of Shearith Israel’s cemeteries. Members of the Hebra perform taharah, and provide support for mourners during shibah, including the Mourner’s Meal. To sponsor a meal for a mourner, click here. To make a general donation to the Hebra which may be made in memory or in honor of someone, click here. The family will be notified of your donation.
