As part of its service to the entire Jewish community, Mount Sinai has created a series of booklets on death and bereavement, which can provide some guidance to you and your family.


When a Loved One Dies
On the death of a loved one, many decisions must be made. This booklet explains many of the laws and customs of traditional Judaism regarding mourning and honoring the deceased.

What Can I Say
It is a most difficult moment, greeting one in mourning. What are the words of comfort when words seem so inadequate? Here are valuable ideas to help you arrive at expressions of comfort and condolence.

What To Do
A death in the family means taking immediate action. This booklet will help guide you on the first people to call, what documents you'll need and what arrangements you'll have to make. A place to record important personal information is included.

The Jewish Way
At a time of loss, great comfort comes from embracing the rich traditions of our faith. This brief guide can help you consider some of the beautiful traditions and time-honored rituals available to you as you make funeral arrangements before, or during the time of need.
