Shiva

CBS clergy, staff, and volunteers work together to support our members during times of loss. 

CBS provides support for mourners during the week of shiva and beyond by assisting in preparing the family home for shiva and providing a post-cemetery meal.  CBS clergy are also available to provide spiritual support to members during their time of loss.

Upon the death of a loved one, members may contact the CBS office to make arrangements by e-mailing office@bethsholomlawrence.org or calling 516-569-3600.

Yahrtzeit Dedications and Sponsorship Opportunities

CBS helps its members to remember the yahrtzeit's of their loved ones by providing opportunities for mourners to memorialize their relatives and uplift their neshama (soul).

On the occasion of a yahrzeit you may consider a dedication or sponsorship opportunity (including a Kiddush, our Torah Weekly publication, weekly classes, guest speakers and Scholars-In-Residence, Seudah Shlishit, siddurim, chumashim, etc.) in order to memorialize your beloved relative.

Members can sponsor our Daf Yomi Talmud Class for one day at $50, one week at $150, or $500 for the entire month in which the yahrzeit occurs.  In this way, the Torah learning conducted by the class will be directed towards uplifting the neshama (soul) of your relative.

Memorial Plaques

Members may dedicate memorial plaques in the CBS Beit Midrash in memory of their relatives.  Memorial plaques are a permanent remembrance of your relatives at CBS.  Plaques are available for $500.  Contact office@bethsholomlawrence.org for more information.
