This short animated video was made by Accessible Judaism. It focusses on the ritual of Shiva in Judaism which happens when an immediate family member dies.

After almost two years of difficult times with death and bereavement during the pandemic, the rituals surrounding Shiva the customs weren’t able to go ahead. It’s because of this that Accessible Judaism has produced a short video as a cross communal and inclusive project to make a difficult process easier as times return to normal.
