Following the question-and-answer format made popular in his best-selling Jewish Books of Why, Rabbi Kolatch here explores, explains, and analyzes the reasons behind the multitude of laws, observances, customs, and traditions relating to death and mourning. Among the subjects covered are the chapel and cemetery religious services, the laws of Kaddish and Keria (rending the garment), Shiva and post-Shiva procedures, Yahrzeit, Yizkor, and the regulations pertaining to grave visits and unveilings. The answers to the almost five hundred questions presented in this volume are concise, direct, and unbiased, reflecting the attitudes, customs, and practices of Jews of all denominations. The Jewish Mourners Book of Why also presents a selection of readings that will bring comfort to the bereaved. Features notes and a detailed index.
