Jewish Prayers Related to Suicide

Depending on the traditions of a person’s specific Jewish community, a death by suicide can include all of the same prayers and rituals as any other death. However, we should remember the particular sensitivities around death by suicide and the family and friends who survive. We offer some prayers and rituals, written by survivors, you might use or adapt.

Support Our Work

With your support, we can continue educating our communities and providing resources about mental illness and addiction through a Jewish lens. Right now, we are closer than ever to eradicating the shame and stigma that have stopped so many from talking about mental health and seeking help when they need it, but we still need your support.
