The St. Louis Jewish Burial Foundation is a nonprofit, volunteer-led initiative dedicated to ensuring every Jewish person in the community receives a traditional Jewish burial (halachic) with dignity, regardless of background. The foundation’s matching campaign aims to double the reach of every dollar donated to help ensure a Jew is buried according to tradition. Today, more than half of American Jews choose cremation due to confusion, misinformation, or financial pressure. The Torah teaches that cremation destroys the body created b’tzelem Elokim (in the image of God) and causes the soul to grieve. Traditional burial brings holiness, dignity, peace, and continuity with Jewish history, and through this matching campaign, your gift brings that peace and holiness to twice as many neshamot.
The foundation has set a $60,000 matching goal, and every single dollar you give will be matched dollar for dollar. Your gift makes you a true chaver and friend of our rich Jewish tradition, preserving dignity in life and ensuring no Jew is ever buried alone or left unprepared. As a shomer, you are a double guardian of precious Jewish neshamot, fulfilling an invaluable role in keeping alive the sacredness of Jewish burial. By participating in this matching campaign, your kindness is instantly doubled, and you can do it for twice as many Jews.
