Chevra Kadisha Group Leader Tahara Training 

The following video is a training session intended for tahara group leaders in both the men's and women's divisions. ​The class is given by Rabbi Elchonon Zohn to the Chevra Kadisha of Greater Washington.

It is the policy of the Chevra Kadisha that several of its more experienced members are appointed leaders of the Chevra Kadisha. The group leader or "Rosh" at every tahara is responsible to see to it that everything is prepared in advance and that the tahara proceeds in an orderly fashion. The group leader should assign the various duties to the individual participants, taking into account each person's experience and abilities. In keeping with the dignity of the deceased, the assignments made by the group leader and the instructions which are issued should not be questioned during the tahara.
