The four layers of Yaar Ad

Four domains, one vision. Each layer completes the others.

The Legal & Halakhic Layer

The Problem

Israeli cemeteries are collapsing under demand. No land. No approved alternative.

The Solution

Direct earth burial in linen shrouds is documented in Jewish practice. The Right to Alternative Civil Burial Law (1996) creates a route for a licensed site. Yaar Ad plans a Public Benefit Company that would seek a license; no operating entity has been established and no license has been issued.

What still needs to happen

These are the open tasks. Come be a real partner in building this.
