Purification of the COVID dead in Israel
EXCLUSIVE:
January 27, 2021 - Holon, Israel: Men and women of Chevra Kasdishah (sacred society) in Holon are performing the Tahara ritual (purification) of corpses infected with Covid-19 for the whole area of central Israel before burial. A chevra kadisha is an organization of Jewish men and women who see to it that the bodies of deceased Jews are prepared for burial according to Jewish tradition and are protected from desecration, willful or not, until burial. At the heart of the society's function is the ritual of tahara, or purification. The body is first thoroughly cleansed of dirt, bodily fluids and solids, and anything else that may be on the skin, and then is ritually purified by immersion in, or a continuous flow of, water from the head over the entire body. Tahara may refer to either the entire process, or to the ritual purification. Once the body is purified, the body is dressed in tachrichim, or shrouds, of white pure muslin or linen garments made up of ten pieces for a male and twelve for a female, which are identical for each Jew and which symbolically recalls the garments worn by the Kohen Gadol (High Priest). Sign on door reads - "No entry. A Corona infected corpse inside the refrigerated room." (Ziv Koren/Polaris) (FOTO:DUKAS/POLARIS)

Purification of the COVID dead in Israel
EXCLUSIVE:
January 27, 2021 - Holon, Israel: Men and women of Chevra Kasdishah (sacred society) in Holon are performing the Tahara ritual (purification) of corpses infected with Covid-19 for the whole area of central Israel before burial. A chevra kadisha is an organization of Jewish men and women who see to it that the bodies of deceased Jews are prepared for burial according to Jewish tradition and are protected from desecration, willful or not, until burial. At the heart of the society's function is the ritual of tahara, or purification. The body is first thoroughly cleansed of dirt, bodily fluids and solids, and anything else that may be on the skin, and then is ritually purified by immersion in, or a continuous flow of, water from the head over the entire body. Tahara may refer to either the entire process, or to the ritual purification. Once the body is purified, the body is dressed in tachrichim, or shrouds, of white pure muslin or linen garments made up of ten pieces for a male and twelve for a female, which are identical for each Jew and which symbolically recalls the garments worn by the Kohen Gadol (High Priest).
