Story
Shiva Circle fosters a community of support to enable mourners to sit shiva. We envision a world where this ancient Jewish tradition is available, accessible, and a source of comfort to all.

Shiva Circle fosters a community of support to enable mourners to sit shiva. We envision a world where this ancient Jewish tradition is available, accessible, and a source of comfort to all.
Too often, it falls on mourners to plan shiva for themselves, because many of us have lost our “shiva circle”—the close-knit village of friends, clergy, and acquaintances who, for millennia, would step in and organize any time there was a death in a Jewish family.
That’s where Shiva Circle comes in. We provide: accessible resources; digital tools to organize shiva and make it easy for people to help; trainings for volunteers who want to learn how to support mourners.
By removing the burden, Shiva Circle unlocks the power of shiva to help people feel held by Jewish tradition and community.

Our Community Resources
Organize & Sit Shiva
Just as there's no one way to sit shiva, there's no one way to organize the details. We offer options to make it easier for people to show up for shiva.
Caring For Mourners After Shiva
This downloadable PDF shares several helpful ways to stay in a mourner’s circle of support, even after shiva ends.
