Inter-Island Chevra Kadisha Series: Tikkun Olam—Lessons From the Pandemic

  • Body-Soul Synergetics United States (map)

More than a “Burial Society,” a Chevra Kadisha cares for the Jewish community in times of

need. We welcome strangers, visit the sick, comfort the bereaved, console and counsel, offer

guidance, bake challah and provide meals of consolation. Chevra members are “Holy Friends,”

educators, navigators, prayer leaders, caring companions, mikvah attendants, guardians,

shroud makers, casket builders, and grave diggers. We are holders of Wholeness.

Dr. Nicky Silver has been a hands-on practitioner for over 50

years. She has been a practicing chiropractor for over 40 years

and an advanced craniosacral therapist and wellness coach for

over 35 years. Her main focus has been to connect each patient

with their relationship to their symptoms. Dr. Nicky has studied

with many outstanding teachers in the world of Mind-Body

Wellness including such pioneers including Dr. Elisabeth Kubler

Ross, Dr. Bernie Siegel, Dr. Jim Gordon, and Dr. Carl Simonton.

Perhaps her greatest asset is that she lives her talk.
