Everyone Deserves Dignity in Death
As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, your donation (Tzedakah) to Sinai Memorial ensures that the Bay Area’s Jewish community has access to end-of-life services, education, and healing rooted in Jewish tradition and values for generations to come.
Your donation supports the growth and learning of the Bay Area’s diverse Jewish community. We provide free community education, programs, and events centered around Jewish end-of-life rituals and practices, such as the annual Day of Learning.
Grieving the loss of a loved one is never easy.
Your donation directly supports our Mourner Care program, designed to support those who have experienced a loss through every step of the healing process with one-on-one counseling and support.
