Mourning And Remembrance - Rabbi Aaron Felder

In the Jewish conception of life and the human soul, death is not the end of existence but a crucial translation in the development of the soul. The experience of death has nummerous significances, both for the deceased and the bereaved, such as respect for the dead, elevation of the soul, tragedy, loss, bereavement, mourning and remembrance, and the Torah way of life deals with all these issues according to Halachah and Jewish tradition.
