Hebrew Free Burial Association Every year HFBA asks Congregations to designate Parshat Chayei Sara to reflect on our mission. Abraham arranging for Sara's burial is a reminder of the importance of a proper burial. We're asking you to help. Please ask your Rabbi to mention HFBA during a sermon, or to put HFBA materials on display. This year our ca...seload is up over 15%; donations are down. We NEED the support of the community. Thank you.
