Neshama
נשמהComforting our community
Obituaries and memorials from Toronto and Montreal's Jewish funeral homes, in one place.
Coordinate meals for families in mourning
When someone passes, the community comes together. Neshama makes it easy to organize shiva meals so families can focus on grieving, not logistics.
- Create a shiva support page linked to the obituary
- Set meal schedule, dietary needs, and address
- Share with community — volunteers sign up for meals
- Family receives meals without the coordination burden
Why coordinate?
- ✓ Prevent duplicates so every day is covered
- ✓ Cover all 7 days so the family is looked after
- ✓ Multiple friends contribute without stepping on each other
- ✓ Family sees what's covered at a glance
- ✓ Works alongside caterers — order Sonny's for Tuesday, cook for Wednesday

The Meaning of Neshama
Neshama (נשמה) is the Hebrew word for "soul" — the divine spark within each person. This service was created to comfort those who mourn — to help our community come together and support families when they need it most.
