Mourning (the cycle of a Jewish life)

A clear and profound guide to the stages of Jewish grief.

This book brings together all the laws and customs of mourning, from the death to the "Hazkara", including the "7 days" as well as the rules for reciting the Kaddish:

When can a bereaved person shave/cut their hair?
What date should the Hazkara be set for?
When should the tombstone be erected?
During what period should the Kaddish be recited?

Texts of reflection and "Moussar" will also help the bereaved and those who support them... to grasp the Jewish vision of this painful period.

While waiting for the fulfillment of the comforting prophecy: "He will forever annihilate death, and thus the Lord will dry the tears from all faces and remove the reproach of his people from all the earth (...)" (Isaiah (25:8)
