Learn Together, Strengthen Communities
Upcoming Opportunities
Join a Shiva Circle workshop or training session and learn how to hold space for mourners with compassion and care. These live, interactive sessions are designed to empower you with a deep understanding of Jewish mourning rituals and practical guidance for supporting mourners.
Bring Shiva Circle to Your Community
Deepen your community’s capacity to support mourners by partnering with Shiva Circle to bring resources and training directly to your area. Together, we can equip local professionals, lay leaders, and volunteers to offer compassionate, structured support during shiva and beyond — ensuring no one grieves alone.
Become a Volunteer Shiva Guide
Shiva Guides enable a mourner to mourn and feel cared for by their community during the week of shiva and beyond. They listen to a mourner’s needs and support them in using the Shiva Project’s resources and web platform to help create a meaningful shiva experience. They also weave together the mourner’s network.
We offer training sessions throughout the year for people seeking to become Shiva Guides.
