Holiday Programming for Bereaved Families
For families who have experienced loss, family-centered holidays can be especially painful, when the absence of a loved one is felt more deeply and the longing grows more intense. At Navah, we stand beside bereaved families during the holidays, offering warmth, connection, and meaningful support:
Holiday Packages
Ahead of each holiday, hundreds of pampering packages are sent nationwide to bereaved families. These include games, toiletries, sweets, a booklet of inspirational articles, and words of encouragement.
Evenings of Light
During Hanukkah, we host a special evening devoted to therapeutic activity and empowerment. Bereaved families gather for meaningful, professionally guided experiences, such as Playback Theater, psychodrama, intuitive painting, and more - designed to foster connection, healing, and renewed strength.
A Prayer Journey for Bereaved Mothers
On Erev Yom Kippur, we come together for a meaningful day of prayer and song at the Cave of the Patriarchs and Rachel’s Tomb. This powerful gathering brings dozens of bereaved mothers and widows into a shared space of remembrance, faith, and hope. Through heartfelt melodies and women’s voices lifted in unity, the day opens hearts, strengthens spiritual and personal connection, and instills renewed strength and hope as they enter the new year and its challenges.
