Hineni is an app-like webpage that gives users a simple, ergonomic, and fast way to get answers to questions about Jewish death practices. This is a tool intended to be used by various target audiences, but specifically, two of the most directly impacted when death happens: families facing death of a loved one, and those who directly serve such families, namely funeral directors and staff wanting to learn more to be better able to serve Jewish families.
Moving the cursor over a topic highlights it, and upon click, displays information about that webinar, including links to register, to view the recording, the slide-deck, and the related Hineni topic page, as appropriate.

Hello World
About JADE Tributes
JADE tributes and Hineni dedications honor and remember those we care about. (View the Hineni tool here.)
The JADE Tributes page displays a table with entries honoring living people, and entries remembering those who have died. When you move your cursor over an entry, it highlights, and upon click displays information about that person.
In addition to listing a name on the JADE Tributes page, topics in the Hineni tool can be highlighted as dedicated to the honor or memory of a loved one. On a Hineni topic page, you will see your dedication appearing above the topic content. (See an example here.)
Thus, you can enter a name to be displayed in one of two ways:
(1) dedicating a Hineni topic to honor or remember, which includes a listing on this JADE Tribute Page, or
(2) remembering or honoring soley through a listing on this JADE Tribute Page.
Click here to see the list of Hineni Dedication display time options and suggested donations.Hineni dedications are listed for 12 months unless renewed.
To create a tribute or dedication, click the “Create a Tribute or Dedication” button and fill out the form. You will be notified by email when the listing is available.
If you have questions, concerns, or comments, please contact us directly by phone or email: (440-941-5233, info@JadeInfo.org).
