ZAKA: Encyclopedia - ZAKA

ZAKA: Encyclopedia - Chevra kadisha

A chevra kadisha (Hebrew: holy society, better translated as "burial society") is a loosely structured but generally closed organization of Jewish men and women who see to it that the bodies of Jews are prepared for burial according to halacha (Jewish law) and are protected from desecration, willful or not, until burial. Two of the main requirements are the showing of proper respect for a corpse, and the ritual clea ...

ZAKA: Encyclopedia - Haredi Judaism

Haredi or Charedi Judaism, often also called ultra-Orthodox Judaism, is the most theologically conservative form of Orthodox Judaism. The term "ultra-Orthodox" is controversial, as it is often considered to be pejorative, and is rarely used by the Jews to whom it is applied; they generally prefer Haredi (חֲרֵדִי, a Hebrew term which is derived from Harada (fear, anxiety) and could be interperted as "one who trembles in awe of God"), Yeshivish ...

ZAKA: Encyclopedia II - Haredi Judaism - Present day

Haredi Judaism - Israel. In Israel, home to the most numerically powerful Haredi population, the situation is different. There, as in the United States, the community has adopted a policy of isolationism, but at the same time, it has also struggled for inclusion in dominant society, perceiving itself as the true protector of the country's Jewish nature. The issues date to the late nineteenth-early twentieth century, with the rise of Zionism. Until the Holocaust, the vast majority of Haredi Jews rejected Zi ...

ZAKA: Encyclopedia II - Haredi Judaism - Practices and beliefs

Haredi Judaism - Views of halakha. One basic belief of the Orthodox community in general is that it is the latest link in a chain of Jewish continuity extending back to the giving of the Torah to Moses at Mount Sinai. It believes that two guides to Jewish law were given to the Israelites at that time: the first, known as Torah she-bi-khtav, or the "Written Law" is the Tanakh (Jewish Bible) as we know it today; the second, known as Torah she-ba'al peh ("Oral Law"), is the exposition as relayed ...

ZAKA: Encyclopedia II - Haredi Judaism - History

Haredi Judaism - Modern origins. For several centuries before the Emancipation of European Jewry, most of Europe's Jews were forced to live in closed communities, where their culture and religious observances persevered, no less because of internal pressure within their own community as because of the refusal of the outside world to accept them. In a predominantly Christian society, the only way for Jews to gain social acceptance was to convert, thereby abandoning all ties with one's own family and community. There was very little middle ground, especially in the ghetto, for people to negotiate betwe ...

ZAKA: Encyclopedia - Community emergency response team

In the United States a community emergency response team (CERT) is a group of amateur emergency workers. They are usually neighbors. Under good doctrine, they receive professional mass training and become official auxiliaries to local government emergency services in times of emergency. The theory behind CERT is based on a simple observation: in major emergencies, professional emergency services overload instantly. Every area in the world has earthquakes and tornadoes, and the most common disasters are floods and severe ...

ZAKA: Encyclopedia - Jewish bereavement

Everything that Jews do regarding death is for one of two reasons: respect for the dead (kavod ha-met) or to console those left behind (nihum avelim). Jewish bereavement - Death bed. By Jewish law, Jews are forbidden to do anything to hasten a person's death but, are at the same time required to do anything possible to comfort the dying. So the spectrum of what can-and-cannot be done for a person on their deathbed goes to both extremes. There are some who will not touch a dying person for fear that something so mild ...

Community emergency response team - Step 1: Self Rescue. Each individual reaches into their grab-and-go bag, gets a flashlight, and puts on their shoes. It's very tempting to check the family first, but glass on the floor can instantly create a casualty if one is bare-foot.

ZAKA: Encyclopedia II - Jewish bereavement - Days of memorial

Jewish bereavement - Yahrzeit. Yahrzeit or Yohr Tzeit, יארצייט, means "Time (of) Year" in Yiddish. The word is also used by non-Yiddish-speaking Ashkenazi Jews, and refers to the annual anniversary of the day of death of a relative.

The ISF are viewed by most experts as one of the best in their fields, especially in counter-terrorism.

A local government, usually a city, attempts to recruit a CERT in each neighborhood. Most governments with CERTs maintain a full-time community-service person as liaison to the volunteers who form the rest of the organization. CERTs provide their own personnel, supplies, tools, organization and equipment, but they are activated by, trained by, promoted by and liaise with the government.
