Description

Mrs. Robin Meyerson, West Coast Director of NASCK (National Association of Chevrah Kadisha)Mrs. Robin Meyerson has a passion, and she passionately shares it. That passion is to help prevent cremation. She exhorts her listeners: “As Jews, we are all one, so when one Jew is being cremated, it affects all of us. We must stop this from happening.” She repeats so many times that she is available 24/6 to help save a Jew from being cremated. Robin laments that there are so many misconceptions about cremation versus burial. Many people think cremation is cheaper or better for the environment. One person shared that she was scared to be buried because she doesn’t like bugs! Robin clearly explains the fallacy of such thinking. She personally gets involved and does whatever she can to bring fellow Jews to proper kevurah. What does this have to do with you? There are many frum people who have non-frum relatives. And that is why this podcast is so important.  Robin’s message is aimed at the frum community. Do you have a non-frum relative, neighbor or friend? Talk to them about kevuras Yisrael now, when they are still living; once they have passed on, their post-death plans will be very difficult to change. Are you scared to touch upon this topic or unsure about how to broach it? Robin shares her cell number twice on this podcast. She is waiting to support you through this vital conversation. https://www.chevrahlomdeimishnah.org/product/i-wish-someone-would-have-told-me-a-book-for-teens-who-have-lost-a-parent/ https://www.chevrahlomdeimishnah.org/product/i-wish-someone-would-have-told-my-friends/

I recently wrote a book called I Wish Someone Would Have Told Me for teens who lost parents. Since its release, I’ve been getting positive feedback from many adults who find it helpful too. Some find it useful because they were children when their parent died; some find it useful in understanding their neighbor or student who is growing up without a parent. All were unanimous that the book was filling an important need: the more I heard, the more it became clear that there is a great need for support for anyone who has suffered a loss. Still, when someone suggested hosting a podcast on this topic, I hesitated. Me? I should host a podcast? After much thought and a little research to see if those who had what to share were on board, I decided to accept the challenge. My goal is to bring you talks with all kinds of people who have all different kinds of stories to tell. Some of our guests lived through tragic losses, while others experienced more “typical” losses. Some guests are professionals and some are in the rabbinic field. But each has a unique story and a unique perspective. It is my hope that listening to these stories will fortify you with the support and connections you need and that they will help you gain understanding and clarity about your struggles and tools to help you become a better you.
