A joint project of the FJMC and the Cantors Assembly, this guide was designed to provide volunteers with the needed, halachic, ritual and social skills to lead a Shiva Minyan in a meaningful and comforting manner. Graduates of the course are entitled to receive a certificate of completion from the FJMC & the Cantors Assembly. (See the FJMC website for details.)  The guide addresses the different comfort levels of mourners, desired logistics to create the appropriate mood as well as customs that take place at the conclusion of Shiva.
