Navigating Jewish burial in the age of Coronavirus. Thank you Rabbi Kipnes and Jewish Journal for the kind words in addressing this topic. We continue to care for our communities and loved ones during this time, ensuring tradition and safety are thoughtfully met with dignity.

“Together, we navigated an uncharted process, striking a balance between caring for the deceased and protecting mourners and staff. Having intimate knowledge of Mount Sinai’s dedication and commitment from tragedies in my own life, I knew that we were in the very best of hands.”- Rabbi Paul Kipnes

Two weeks ago, my friend — a pillar of our community, a father, a husband, and a true mensch — who was successfully fighting cancer, fell sick with the

On this Holocaust Remembrance Day, we remember the six million Jewish lives lost in the Holocaust and the millions of others who perished at the hands of the N**i regime. We also honor the struggle of the survivors – those who lived through the darkest of days in modern Jewish history and overcame the seemingly unimaginable. Survivors like Sophie and Abraham Hamburger, who both survived concentration camps in Poland and Germany and went on to build rich and loving lives in Los Angeles.

Sophie and Abraham’s grandson, Jeff Schlesinger, shared this moving photo with Mount Sinai to honor his grandparents’ legacy. Pictured here is Sophie holding her great granddaughter Abigail in her arms. Abigail is named in loving memory of her great grandfather Abraham. From generation to generation, we will remember.

Now, Sophie rests at Mount Sinai beside her husband Abraham. May Sophie and Abraham’s memory – and the memory of all victims of the Holocaust – be a blessing. Together, we say Never Again.

Judaism in the age of Coronavirus. How sitting Shiva by Zoom is bringing families together in ways we could have never imagined. “A virtual hug isn’t a real hug, and sometimes I felt very empty. And yet, there was also something very special, a community of people from all over the world that came together around my mother and for me.” Read more here:
