Misaskim (Hebrew: <templatestyles src="Script/styles_hebrew.css" />מתעסקים[1][2] Mit'asḳim, attendants, a term used for members of a Chevra Kadisha (Jewish burial society);[3] pronounced Misaskim in Ashkenazi Hebrew) is an American Orthodox Jewish not-for-profit organization founded in 2004[4][5] that provides services for the care of the dead and the needs and conveniences of mourners in accordance to Jewish law and custom. Misaskim also provides help during situations of crisis. Misaskim is directed by Rabbi Yaakov ("Yanky", also known as Jack) Meyer, one of the organization's founders,[2][5][6] and by Rabbi Meir Weill.[7]
Misaskim provides support and assistance to individuals experiencing crisis or tragedy by providing vital community services, which include safeguarding the dignity of the deceased, assisting the bereaved by providing free shiva-related services[8] and supporting individuals during these times. Their services include moral support and assistance with challenges during crisis or loss.
