You're Not Alone

The holiday season can be an especially difficult time for those mourning the loss of a loved one.

If you find yourself struggling to make funeral arrangements - or overwhelmed with grief - The Neshama Foundation is here to help.

"The Neshama Foundation was founded in 2016 with the leadership of Yerucham Kopelman along with other concerned community members," according to its website. "Over the past 35 years, they have seen first-hand the need for a program that helped families when they lost a loved one."

The nonprofit, based in Pompano Beach, provides financial assistance for those seeking a traditional Jewish burial, organizes and provisions shivas, and aids in the collection and proper handling of shaimos. Furthermore, grief counseling, education and outreach programs are available for those struggling with loss.
